[edit] Session I: Overcoming the Risks of Federation
JOIN THE ONGOING SOLUTIONS DIALOGUE ON THE GOOGLE GROUP SITE
[edit] Abstract
Those who must use and share identities established by other organizations perceive risk resulting from not personally checking source documents or electronic data that verifies the identity. A host of related risks involving technology, malevolent intent, and honest mistakes also impede movement toward federation. Technology is essential to binding trust and identity, but making federation work is not just a matter of technology, policy or process. If recipients of transactions can’t trust that the person on the other end is who he purports to be, it doesn’t matter whether or not it is possible to communicate with him or process the transaction.
