Description
Scientific collaboration is a worldwide enterprise, crossing institutional boundaries - yet our notions of identity tend to be firmly grounded in who pays our salaries. At the same time, initiatives like HSPD-12 tend to focus on identity for members of a specific class (government), but lack the ability to work across institutional domains. New technologies like Shibboleth and OpenID, and Federations like UCTrust and InCommon help to lay the groundwork for more nuanced and efficient versions of identity. This presentation will focus on the promises and challenges in these new developments.
