OK, I decided not to make use of Blogger's services and actually move everything back to my old blog, the one I've been running in one form or another since 1998. I'm still in the process of re-importing all the old posts (so bear with me!), but you can find all these articles and more over at http://cro.alienpants.com. I won't be posting here any more, so on the off-chance you have this

After reading through Stephen Downe's opus on Identity, it got me thinking about what the most important part of identity is.Personally, I think it is Trust.(From Dictionary.com:)trust Pronunciation Key (trst)n. 1. Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.I think this is the essence. If we take the example of transient identity I espoused in my last post,

2 September: This is a work in progress, so please ignore typos or blank bits :)Update 6 September: It seems other people are travelling down this path: Check out this paper from midentity, as well as this post (part 1) and this post by Stephen Downes.I've been thinking about this for a while. Posts by Kim Cameron and more recently by Bob Blakley talking about digital identity lead me to the

My previous post on distributed identity raised another thought, especially about the way Gamespy deal with personally identifiable information (thankfully I never registered my credit card details with them!)By requiring organisations to record data and information for a lengthy period of time seems to be at odds with a desire for privacy. For example, I really do not want any association with

I've just watched a video interview with Kim Cameron, identity architect at Microsoft. I've been reading his blog for a while (as you can see I have it linked on the right), following the discussion surrounding identity, identity systems, protocols and so on.There's been a lot of discussion about ensuring that identity remains with the individual, whilst at the same time seemingly tying the

I came across an interesting article at Security Park about implementing LDAP directories at the heart of an organisation.Single sign-on (SSO) has long been a holy grail for security teams in large complex organisations. But the obstacles in the way of its universal deployment have so far proved to be too great - in particular the challenge of interfacing and synchronising data held in the
