Yesterday, I learned about the Identity Landscape project from Gerald Beuchelt of Sun. The goal of this project, which exists under the OpenLiberty.org umbrella, is “providing an overview and a ‘map’ to the emerging identity landscape. In order to achieve this, we develop a system to classify and evaluate existing identity systems and emerging technology. Based on these findings, we discuss policy, business, and regulatory ramifications of a decision for or against a particular identity system or technology.”

I look forward to participating with Gerald and his colleagues in this project.
