I didn’t blog or even tweet much over the holidays, but I did manage to catch up on a few good posts and articles while lazing around…
- The Quest to Replace Passwords — Extensive report on challenges with replacing password (HT
@aniltj). The table on page 11 is worth a good study for anyone interested how various password-less authentication options stack up. - Identity Management on a Shoestring — An excellent report on how to implement IAM in an enterprise without spending years/millions. Uncanny resemblance to work I’ve been involved with in the past several years, i.e. customized implementations that are not constricted by the cost and complexity of COTS solutions.
- Economic Tussles in Federated Identity Management — Another excellent paper, this time on the economic issues related to Fed ID. Points out how successful implementations occur when IdPs, SPs and users all receive benefits.
- OASIS Identity in the Cloud Use Cases — A list of 29 use cases that are a solid reference for future IAM projects that involve cloud services. (HT to @RBsTweets.)
- Gov’t of Canada SecureKey page — A summary of SecureKey and the Canadian federal organization and legislation that supports its implementation. Would be nice to see a link to the PIA…
These should get your new year off to a good start – happy 2013 everyone!
