Abstract

For large government agencies and corporations there can be significant value in the use of identity, access, and rights management infrastructures or IDM. The organizations investment in directory services, authorization services, rights management, and public key systems all combine to form a sometimes complex infrastructure. The products that are deployed may be based upon standards such as WS-Security, SAML, and X509.3 but many are still hampered by proprietary vendor implementation, lack of understanding of the capability of the technology as it relates to business process, or unwise architectural decisions.

This seminar will focus on how the models for IDM are maturing and comment on how the urgency to deploy solutions changes when combined with service oriented architecture. The seminar will give practical examples from the experience of working within large scale infrastructures in both corporate and government environments. It will conclude with commentary on the IDM issues and solutions revolving around the largest government identity management effort to date
