[OpenID] New iGov Working Group Charter proposal.

[Peter Williams]

Sounds like the qualified cert initiative (which was a political disaster). Are their large $$ procurements driving this, for the egov side of azure, google cloud etc?

Openid connect itself (not higher levels of assurance) were supposed to deliver access to public services (from your Gmail etc account).

I fear im hearing the pki boondoggle refrain, all over again. Sorry to be so negative,in tone, but the cycle (of failure on public identity) does seem to keep going round and round (with the same old story lines).

I still remember the arrogant way some UK cabinet initiative (some customs related idea) was (typically) handled, splitting the community.

Subject: [OpenID] New iGov Working Group Charter proposal.

At the request of a number of Governments, some of whom have OpenID Connect deployments and others that are considering it, we propose to form a new OIDF Working group.

The goal is to have a common deployment profile that can be customized for the needs of both pubic and private sector deployments that require the higher levels of security that OpenID Connect can support.

"The purpose of this working group is to develop a security and privacy profile of the OpenID Connect specifications that allow users to authenticate and share consented attribute information with public sector services across the globe. The resulting profile will enable standardized integration with public sector relying parties in multiple jurisdictions. The profile will be applicable to, but not exclusively targeted at, identity broker-based implementations.”

The fill draft charter is available at http://openid.net/igov-wg-draft-charter/

Feedback and additional proposers are welcome.

Regards
John Bradley
