Liberty Alliance Releases 3 Open Identity Interfaces

Posted on: 04/20/05

by Vance McCarthy
The Liberty Alliance, a global consortium of more than 150 vendors and end users working to develop a suite of open federated identity standards for Web services, has released drafts three (3) new interface specs aimed to provide more flexible options for managing identity information for remote users within a secured Web service.

The latest Liberty Alliance specs support

  • (1) presence,
  • (2) contact book and
  • (3) geo-location from within a Web service
  • .

    Further, these new interfaces will be deployable on the Liberty Alliance’s Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF). So, they are meant to function individually or in a seamless unified fashion. As with the previously-released ID Personal Profile and ID Employee Profile, the newest services have been created to enhance user control of invoked Web services, in a privacy-respecting manner.
