Business Services and Provide Users with Greater Online Security and
Privacy Protection
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Alliance, the global
identity consortium working to build a more trusted internet for consumers,
governments and businesses worldwide, today announced the Identity
Federation and Web Services: Happening Today - Enabling Tomorrow workshop
taking place at RSA Conference 2008 in San Francisco on Monday, April 7
from 1:00 - 4:30pm. The interactive event features Liberty Alliance members
from CA, Intel, NTT, Ping Identity and RSA presenting case studies,
demonstrations and cutting-edge proof-of-concept applications built using
open and proven interoperable identity standards from Liberty Alliance.
"With hundreds of RSA Conference participants already registered to
attend and a wide variety of new Liberty-based applications on display, the
April 7 workshop showcases the deployment momentum Liberty Alliance
standards are experiencing across global markets today," said Roger
Sullivan, president of the Liberty Alliance Management Board and vice
president of Oracle Identity Management. "Presenters will review case
studies focusing on user and business benefits of applications in the
enterprise, health care, technology and telecom sectors to demonstrate why
organizations worldwide are relying on identity standards from Liberty
Alliance to deploy more secure and privacy- respecting identity services."
The workshop will feature Liberty Alliance members and customer
organizations presenting identity applications that leverage Liberty
Advanced Client, Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services standards.
Developed based on well defined use cases and market requirements,
demonstrations will show how Liberty's portfolio of interoperable identity
standards provides developers, system integrators and organizations in
every sector with the foundation for driving security and privacy into
identity-consuming applications spanning industries, networks and devices.
Highlights from the applications that will be presented during the April 7
workshop include:
CA - Case studies from CA customers BT & MEDecision covering
respectively SAML-based identity federation and standards-based Web
services security. These case study presentations will review the business
drivers, high-level architectures, key technology and policy decisions,
results to date, future plans, and lessons learned at these organizations.
The case studies will show that both federation and Web services
initiatives are happening today and enabling tomorrow.
Intel - Intel Corporation will review a digital identity life-cycle
management proof-of-concept solution based on the Liberty Advanced Client
specifications and an Intel Identity Capable Client. The demonstration will
show how a secure digital identity could be remotely provisioned and
managed by a telco such as BT for the purpose of authenticating users for
access to converged networks.
NTT - NTT will present the Virtual Credential Container technology
currently being developed within NTT Information Sharing Platform
Laboratories. The technology will enable users to securely store and manage
identity credentials in a virtualized and separated environment on a client
device, such as PC. A converged network access scenario will be
demonstrated using the Virtual Credential Container technology with Liberty
Advanced Client specifications and Intel's Identity Capable Platforms.
Ping Identity - Ping Identity will review Auto-Connect, a new dynamic
federation capability available in the company's PingFederate 5.0 federated
identity software. The session will show how dynamic federation uses SAML
2.0 capabilities and how Ping eliminates manual activities that previously
had to be performed by administrators to configure and test SAML
connections.
RSA - RSA, The Security Division of EMC - Geisinger Health System, a
leader in the country's rapidly emerging Electronic Health Records movement
will discuss their application of RSA federation technology to improve
clinical decision making within the emergency room. The organization will
review the real benefits achieved, lessons learned and what the future
holds for the project.
