Seems I Wasn't the Only One...

David Recordon's Blog — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:47:23 GMT

Looks like Michael Arrington of TechCrunch got uninvited to the Google and Vanity Fair party at the Democratic National Convention too (though he had missed his invitation email). I had RSVP'd "yes" but I guess too late and then after booking my flight got an email a week later saying they had reached full capacity. Oh well... Read More......(read more)

Apparently Lloyds is Pants

Adventures of an Eternal Optimist — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:09:25 GMT

Did you read about the guy who had his password changed by a bank staff member from “lloyds is pants” to “no, its not”? I don’t care what kind of account this guy had — shared passwords? Stored in the clear? Visible to bank staff? Password policies that state he can’t make his shared, stored-in-the-clear password [...] Read More......(read more)

Fortunately

ConnectID — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:32:26 GMT

I will be speaking at our DIDW session first, followed by Mary & Patrick , so I'll have plenty of time to get to the party. I'll be talking about SAML AuthnContext and OpenID PAPE, and a Concordia type usecase involving both protocols that hilites some discontinuities between the two. p.s. If the bouncers at the Ping party hassle you at the door, just tell them that you are with me. I assure you that you will be given the appropriate level of respect. Read More......(read more)

Shake shake shake

ConnectID — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:08:12 GMT

why not use one of these for a second authentication factor? Might require a rethinking of the old 'Something you know, are, have ...' saw to include 'can perform'. Combine it with an mp3 of a castanet and play salsa while logging in. What fellow subway passenger wouldn't enjoy that? Read More......(read more)

Laws of Identity (Pamela-style)

Adventures of an Eternal Optimist — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:29:32 GMT

Kim has been working on a less internerdy version of the Laws of Identity - but I’m not sure the current version would resonate with people like my Mom. So - being the go-getter that I am, I had to take a minute and come up with alternatives. What do you think? If [...] Read More......(read more)

No ‘user-centric’ or ‘enterprise-centric’ identity

In Context — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:15:10 GMT

Dave Kearns has written a post explaining that, if solutions are architected correctly, there’s no meaningful difference between the two. He writes: We start by defining identity as a group of “personas” (see “Defining identity, persona, role”). Any persona can be made up of a group of personas or roles. Each of those personas can be [...] Read More......(read more)

Firefox 3 Java Bug with openinfocard

ignisvulpis — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:34:33 GMT

Just filed a bug for Firefox 3 and Java 6 Update 10 RC . I maintain the Firefox extension "openinfocard" http://code.google.com/p/openinfocard/downloads/list Since Firefox3 users experience an error message "ReferenceError: java is not defined". Today I tried whether this error still occurs with jdk-6u10-rc-bin-b28-windows-i586-p-21_jul_2008.exe and ran into the error message. "TypeError: invalid 'instanceof' operand java.net.URLClassLoader" here: http://code.google.com/p/openinfocard/source/browse/trunk/firefox/components/TokenComponent.js#272...(read more)

Airing Dirty Linens

ConnectID — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:07:32 GMT

A while back I did an interview for the Data Portability In-Motion podcast with Trent and Steve. Most of it seems to be me divulging Liberty Alliance secrets. As in our having more users than people on the planet. The only other time I apologize this much are during my marriage counseling sessions. Read More......(read more)

Spousal Delegation

Phone conversation with a neighbour Dad Me: The kids are welcome to come over for a swim Him: Uhh, I think we may be going out. Me: You can drop them off if you want.

Portal Security

ConnectID — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:22:52 GMT

Hmm. Short-lived security tokens enabling controlled delegation of authorization to sensitive resources. Sounds like SAML & ID-WSF together. Please tell me you got the 'portal' bit. Read More......(read more)

OSIS I3 Interop: a Retrospective

Adventures of an Eternal Optimist — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:05:19 GMT

With much fanfare, I’d like to announce the availability of my analysis of the last OSIS Interop. Hosted on the Nulli Secundus website, the paper is possible due to sponsorship contract from Microsoft that allowed me to also create a lot of the infrastructure supporting the I3 Interop. With luck, that infrastructure will serve as [...] Read More......(read more)
