[edit] Scope

The scope of the Focus Group is Identity Management (IdM) for telecommunications/ICT in general; and specifically to facilitate and advance the development of a generic IdM framework that:

  • includes the means of contextualized discovery of resources (e.g. person, device, application, access point, service, process, network, object, providers, content) and attributes and policies (for interaction, quality, security and privacy) about them
  • includes the means to provide and optionally use claims (verifiable or not) to gain access to interact with these resources
  • doesn't preclude the use of comprehensible, consistent user interfaces
  • seeks to minimize the disclosure of personal information
  • works towards interconnected, interoperable entities (network, services, users, applications)

[edit] Benefits

1. Making possible entirely new user experiences and new business opportunities based on the emergence of a global identity/social layer

2. Unlocking or leveraging the often latent value of social/identity infrastructure

3. Making the user's life easier, privacy-respecting, and more secure in the digital world

4. The ability to network securely, and exchange information across domains

5. Reduce cost through the reuse of existing infrastructure

[edit] Assumptions

1. Plurality and the contextual nature of identities

2. We need/want the ecosystem to be secure

3. FOCUS ON REUSE RATHER THAN REINVENTION
