    Subject: RE: [emergency] Identity and Authority ( was RE: CAP Visualization...)


    We won't be duplicating work if our reasons for not specifying this 
    was to allow time for these other specs to "bake" to the point where 
    we can recommend them in general practice terms and perhaps specify 
    them for particular application areas, such as using XACML for access 
    control, SAML for general security and WSS for more specific web 
    services security, along with the emerging federated certification 
    authority for authentication of user identity. Then we have choices 
    to make with regard to PKI and XML signature that we can recommend 
    for electronic signing needs.
    
    These specs have gotten to the point where these choices need to be 
    made and a lot more experience gathered. I  am hoping to have a 
    presentation from WSRP on security that I can refer our group to 
    review next week. Would've been sooner, but the guy who put in the 
    lion's share of the work was ill at the start of March during the 
    last F2F for that TC, and we are only now getting to it. The good 
    news is that it will be updated, hopefully, and there is a good 
    chance that the tech notes for UDDI and ebXML Registry for WSRP will 
    be ready soon, too.
    
    While those are all issues that are somewhat particularized to WSRP, 
    it is a large enough subset of web services to be valuable, although 
    it would be expected for me to say that because I have worked on it 
    from its inception. However, I suspect that the Portal model is very 
    likely to be the one that shakes out as the dominant model for 
    integrating corporate IT web use that survives the next winnowing.
    
    Ciao,
