Unifying Internet Identity Systems

Wed Jun 21 10:54:00 2006

I put a post about today's OSIS announcement, a project to unify addressable identifier systems (LID, OpenID, XRI) and token based identifier systems (Higgins, CardSpace, SXIP), at Between the Lines. This is a historic development.

Principles of Reputation

Wed Jun 21 09:01:00 2006

Building the open space agenda for day three(click to enlarge) Today was an open space day. The more I participate in open space, the more I'm convinced that it's the right way to do workshops. I wish we'd had two days of open space because the agenda for today was so packed with things I wanted to hear about. The first session I attended was labeled "The Laws of Reputation." I also wanted to go to Marty Schleiff's meeting on XRI, but I felt like I had to do the reputation thing. I don't know that we got to "laws"

ID Mashup Photos

Tue Jun 20 14:21:00 2006

John Clippinger(click to enlarge) I've got photos from the Berkman ID Mashup on my gallery. There are also photos at Flickr, including this prize from David Berlind. At some point, I may need to start using Flickr instead of my own system. I really with that Flickr could see and use my photos in a decentralized manner so I didn't have to choose.

Towards and Open Identity Layer

Tue Jun 20 13:38:00 2006

The first afternoon session was on Towards and Open Identity Layer and Trusted Exchange: What Might it Look Like? The panelists were Paul Trevithick, Parity Communications; Dale Olds, Novell; Tony Nadalin, IBM; Kim Cameron, Microsoft; and Marc Rotenberg, EPIC. John Clippinger, Berkman Center was the moderator. One of the topics that was discussed was security. Kim Cameron made the point that CardSpace doesn't build all the walls that might need to be built, but it changes the paradigm so that the walls can be built. Marc Rotenberg brought up the issue of electronic voting systems. He says that there

Long Tail Markets, Social Commerce and Open Business Models

Tue Jun 20 12:14:00 2006

I'm attending the session on Longtail Markets, Social Commerce, and Open Business Models. The panelists are Philip Evans, Boston Consulting Group (moderator) Greg Steltenphol, adina, Glenn Fogel, Priceline.com, Mark Greene, IBM, Karim Lakhani, MIT Sloan School of Management, and Jean-Francois St. Arnaud, My Virtual Model, Inc. The discussion quickly moved to whether users will be interested in open identity or not. Glenn Fogel says that his customers just want to get tickets and reservations and move on. Priceline has 17 million customers. They've collected data on these, but most of them didn't volunteer it by filling in preference forms.

What Signals Are You Sending Out?

Tue Jun 20 09:46:00 2006

David Berlind's write-up of Judith Donath's presentation yesterday at the ID Mashup on signaling is well worth reading. Signalling is important for reputation. We don't have the infrastructure, at present, to easily pick up on signals and use them. Should I trust some one with an "edu" TLD in their email address more than a Hotmail account? Probably. Universities, as a rule, vet the people they give email addresses to. Hotmail, obviously, doesn't. Part of the problem is that the signals that are there aren't easy to see. For example, why doesn't my email client (Mail.app) show the URL

Interoperability, Open Identity and Identity Brokers

Tue Jun 20 09:07:00 2006

These are some notes from my session. I didn't capture it all and may have mischaracterized things. I didn't try to record who said what. If I've missed something or misstated something, feel free to leave a comment. There's a problem with interop, namely the huge anthropological problem around identity that wasn't there with internetworking. There are too many deep, philosophical discussions that can happen when you start talking about identity. We need language and social interop--conceptual interop--to get technical interop. Identity brokers provide the role of interchange between protocols. Common user experience is important in identity because people

Reputation and Wi-Fi

Tue Jun 20 06:02:00 2006

I'm sitting in the Ames Courtroom at Harvard Law School right now waiting for day two of the Berkman identity Mashup to begin. I missed yesterday because I wasn't willing to fly out on Father's Day. My panel in identity brokers will be at 9am. As I got here and opened up my laptop, I signed into the Harvard wi-fi network. They allow temporary guest logins; you have to provide an email and telephone number. I don't know what keeps people from just giving them dummy data. Probably nothing. I was thinking, however, that you could use a reputation

Identity Brokers and Business Models

Fri Jun 16 11:14:00 2006

Next week, I'm moderating a discussion at the Berkman Identity Mashup in Boston. Our panel is at 9am on Tuesday if you're coming. The title of the panel is "Interoperability, Open Identity, and Identity Brokers." Here's the description: Very likely there will be a new industry of identity brokers, identity providers, and relying parties using those digital identities. Will it become subject to power laws and vendor concentration? What forces will play a role in shaping this new industry? The Higgins open source software framework is one emerging implementation for identity systems that allows for interoperability and integration, utilizing
