Saving the World with User-centric Identity.
Looking at Identity

Posted on Friday 16 March 2007

Andre has a great post that frames the identity zeitgeist.

Ancient History

  • PKI
  • Firewalls
  • My stack vs. your stack
  • Mooooaaannn

Mould

  • Strong Authentication
  • Federation & SSO
  • blah, blah, blah


Old

  • User-centric
  • Attribute Sharing
  • OpenID phishing
  • yak, yak, yak

Bold

  • Delegation
  • Smart clients
  • Protocol convergence
  • Identity meets payments
  • Just do it!

He has been in the business for 6 years. I thought my 3 years was a long time. The irony of it Mould and Old subjects is that it is still way early for all of those things beyond our circle – I had a conversation with a VC this past week and he said ‘I know there is something going on here – but it is still way to early.’ I hope that with the USA Today article that changes.
