RE: [id-cloud] Definitions, terminology and vocabulary for IDM in the cloud

When we worked on the SOA Reference Model, we found the SAML glossary in
particular very useful.

It might also be useful to see what legislation exists in different
countries and regions that define related concepts...

| 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
