Subject: Feedback on Identity Metasystem Interoperability (IMI)


Hello,

This is an informative comment to Members of the OASIS Identity  
Metasystem Interoperability (IMI) TC to let you know of an activity  
that is related to your work.

ISO/IEC (SC 27,WG 5), ITU-T, and Liberty Alliance have formed a  
Liaison Group to try to jointly draft a standard on identity  
assurance. The joint draft standard under discussion is known as X.eaa  
in ITU-T and 29115 in ISO/IEC. It is focused on levels of assurance  
for entity authentication required for interoperability on a global  
scale.

The Liaison Group's objective is to develop a common set of IDM  
definitions, descriptions of qualitative assurance ?metrics? for all  
phases of the IDM life cycle, and a ?bridging/mapping? mechanism for  
different instantiations of levels of assurance.

I am happy to answer follow-up questions and direct you to points of  
contact for these groups.

Thank you,
Elaine Newton
