Subject: Re: [saml-dev] AuthnQuery
I agree Scott, that no matter which way you go, there are some major issues that need to be tackled. The primary ones that I see are: - Lack of public infrastructure where industries have specialized "identity providers" facilitate the exchanges. In the auto industry Covisint is hoping to become one. - Lack of understanding within the large corporate IT shops re: the methods and best practices around identity and digital signature message encryption, and very little adoption - Lack of widespread adoption perpetuates the "missing critical mass" factor, which further delays progress... I am hoping that the medical informatics industry will drive the issues into widespread use this year and next. ~~~~~~~~~ john c hardin Chair, OASIS ebSOA Technical Committee http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ebsoa 313.279.1377 new *VONAGE* number mailto:john@crossconnections.ws "The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village."
