Widespread adoption of PKI

["Mark Kershaw" <mkersh@hotmail.com>]

Dear sir/madam,

I have had a brief look through your action plan and was surprised that 
there was no mention of adoption of Federated Identity standards as a way 
forward for the widespread adoption of PKI.

Admitedly at the moment these FI standards (Liberty Alliance, Saml, 
WS-Federation) do not cater for services like digital signatures but I'm 
sure this will come in time.

As a technical architect I know the cost of integrating a PKI solution into 
a product. Federated Identity if it becomes mainstream will solve most of 
these problems. From a solution providers perspective you should literally 
beable to drop any Identity Providers solution into your offering.

Any comments?

Regards

Mark
