Subject: RE: [id-cloud] Definitions, terminology and vocabulary for IDM inthe cloud
Hi Anil, Such a glossary of definitions/terminology/vocabulary is a great idea and necessary. Otherwise this group could end-up wasting too much time on well-treaded terminologies (eg. spending hours on the difference between authentication and authorization, etc). I recommend we start by looking at existing glossaries: (a) IETF Security glossary: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4949.txt (b) Oasis SAML Glossary: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-glossary-2.0-os.pdf /thomas/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Anil Saldhana [mailto:Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com] > Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 11:48 PM > To: id-cloud > Subject: [id-cloud] Definitions, terminology and vocabulary for IDM in the > cloud > > In our charter, (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/id-cloud/charter.php) > > > " The purpose of the OASIS Identity in the Cloud TC is to collect and > harmonize definitions, terminologies and vocabulary of Cloud Computing, > and develop profiles of open standards for identity deployment, > provisioning and management.
