Symlabs Federated Identity Suite technology is featured in Telco
provisioning demonstration
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Symlabs, a leader in
Identity Management standards that go beyond federated SSO, is providing
Liberty Advanced Client technology for an Intel-BT demonstration showing
how Telcos can provision users with software credentials that allow access
to converged networks. The demonstration takes place on April 7 at 1pm at
the Liberty Alliance Workshop as a part of the RSA Conference 2008 in San
Francisco's Moscone Center.
Liberty Advanced Client technology will be available in the near future
as part of Symlabs Federated Identity Suite. It includes Registration
Server and Provisioning Service Provider components, both of which are
compliant with Liberty Alliance standards. The Telco provisioning
demonstration shows Symlabs components inter-operating with the Provisioned
Module Manager in Identity Capable Platform supplied by Intel and the
Registration Application Browser Plugin supplied by BT.
"Liberty Advanced Client standards leverage Trusted Modules, which are
client-side tamper-proof security modules, to enable mobility and strong
authentication of users. The provisioning process we are demonstrating is
essential for building a mobile trust infrastructure that enables federated
identity to work when an Internet connection is unavailable," said Conor P.
Cahill, Principal Engineer at Intel.
The Advanced Client provisioning standards let Trusted Modules such as
mobile phone SIM cards, CPU-based Trusted Computing Environments, or
software-based implementations be loaded with software and credentials that
enable advanced mobile applications such as off-net authentication,
disconnected operation, and web services offered from mobile devices. The
benefits of this technology include stronger authentication of users on
mobile devices, better privacy protection, and user-centric identity --
your identity is something you can carry in your pocket.
According to Sampo Kellomaki, CTO at Symlabs, "We see applications for
Trusted Modules that create new opportunities for users to enjoy a broader
range of services while on the move, and a vehicle for the Telcos to add
value beyond the SIM card-based identity that they have already
successfully fielded to millions of consumers."
Authentication based on SIM cards has been successful in the mobile
area, but a standards-based approach that integrates well with federated
identity management frameworks is needed to expand their use to new
services. With extensive expertise in mobile services, identity management,
and Telco environments, Symlabs is well positioned to facilitate this
expansion by providing infrastructure building blocks that are ideally
suited to the needs of Telcos and their customers.
