<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060">The work described in the blog post is about using verified citizen identity information in contexts where making it possible to also ensure citizen privacy
is a goal. As I see it, being able to use verified claims from government-issued identities in contexts where they add value for the person is a complimentary capability to using consumer identities in contexts where they add value for the person. One synergy
is that production deployments of both will require trust frameworks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060">While the early prototypes (which were shown at IIW) use WS-Federation and WS-Trust, I know that the team wants to also enable the use of OpenID/OAuth protocols.
In fact, they may be an early customer of the specification work we do in our working groups to enable some of the 6 scenarios that the board endorsed as being in scope for OpenID at our December 2nd meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

know from IIW.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Mike, I was wondering if you had any insight into this effort at Microsoft? It seems to be headed in a different direction than the one we were pursuing with the OIX and reusing consumer-IDP identities in government contexts...? Just trying
to get my head around this! Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">"The next step on the horizon is a multi-state, government and commerce combined proof of concept/pilot initiative. Microsoft has commissioned a diverse team of experts, including identity product team members, privacy professionals, and
government customer-facing field team personnel to help facilitate a comprehensive online identity pilot project. Those of us on that team understand the importance of open standards and multivendor involvement, and we’ve been working with other vendors in
this initiative. Likewise, we recognize that this type of project is a non-starter unless it simultaneously addresses citizens’ needs for privacy and convenience, as well as government costs savings and efficiency."<br clear="all">
