Latest profile specs
by David Chadwick 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Dear All I have just uploaded the updated the XACML and WS-Trust specs as described at the OGF21 meeting to source forge. I have also updated the architecture document to reflect the latest changes. Pointers to the latest 4 docs are in my other email to Tom. The next task is to homogenise the terminology so that they use consistent terminology throughout the entire set. regards David -- ***************************************************************** David W.

Attribute request profile
by David Chadwick 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Dear All the third and final protocol profile has just been uploaded on gridforge at https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14905?nav=1 We now have a complete set of protocol documents plus an architecture overview document. These documents now need to be harmonised, as they use different terminology for the same functional components. Could people please look through these documents and give suggestions for the names of the various functional components which are variously named as: PDP, CIS, CVS, PEP, AA, IDP, STS. Once we finalise on a set of 4 names (PEP, PDP are probably non-controversial, but assertion creation and validation probably are) for the components we can revise the documents accordingly regards David -- ***************************************************************** David W.

by Blair Dillaway 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi All, I want to encourage you to attend the Security Area meeting on Monday, the 15th, at 3:15PM in the Portland Room. Mike Jones, Microsoft's Director of Identity Partnerships, has agreed to join us to discuss Identity standards activity occurring outside the OGF and on-going efforts to ensure broad interoperability. This should be a great follow-on to discussions at recent OGFs on identity management, federations, and authentication. See you next week. Blair Dillaway
