[OpenID] JISC Access and Identity Management Call 08/09

[Nate Klingenstein]

To any lurking UK academics on the list,

JISC is going to be funding some proposals addressing outstanding  
issues in levels of assurance, a critical step for them as they  
ratchet up the UK Access Management Federation for Education to meet  
more sensitive applications.  This has been a topic discussed loosely  
in several senses here on the OpenID general and specs lists, and this  
may offer a chance to investigate how present and envisioned OpenID  
protocol specifications fit with such applications.  I think  
expression of the federated trust fabric in a form such as XRD to  
accompany PAPE and OpenID could be particularly intriguing, though  
there are a lot of hurdles to address before even that point, as  
enumerated by John Bradley here.

The other category seems more broad, simply funding innovative  
projects in identity management, but there's a lot of innovation left  
to be done. :D  If you have cool projects in mind, this is a great  
chance to both fund their development and get some exposure for the  
ideas.

Find following the relevant links and text for the call.

Take care,
Nate.
