Groups - Inter-Cloud BDX Identity Use Cases (OASIS ID Cloud - Inter-Cloud Doc Exchange Use Case v0.11 2011-03-25.doc) uploaded

[roger@traxian.com]

We had some earlier email discussion on this list about defining identity /
Trust Framework use cases (a notion that Thomas Gundel I think supported). 
Since then, I became aware of another OASIS TC on 'Identity in the Cloud'
(aka id-cloud). That TC has a use case analysis effort that seems well
matched to what seemed to be needed from this TC's perspective.

This initial draft is in considerable need of improvement, not least as to
my various errors and mis-characterizations of the BDX Addressing/Security
models. As stated in the document, one goal was to define a broader
framework that can encompass the various 3-corner network models, and
facilitate easy, end-to-end connection setup more broadly.

Feedback and suggested edits are very welcome. If the TC agrees, we might
even collaborate to get this to 'Approved Document' status for
re-submission to the Id-Cloud TC. (I have already posted it there for
feedback from that group). 

I would also like to propose establishing a formal liaison relationship
between the two TCs. Id-Cloud TC members also seem well plugged into the
world of identity standards (i.e. KI, OIX etc) and may have useful input
about how best to move this forward.

The goal, obviously, is to get broad buy-in and adoption, in particular by
some of the larger industry players. With that in mind, the document uses
the term 'Inter-Cloud' to position the BDX requirements as a leading edge
use case for a big, important shift in the Cloud Computing world more
generally.

I look forward to any feedback and further discussion, whether via document
comments here, on the email list, or on upcoming TC calls.

Best regards,
Roger Bass
