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,
Rex
