IdentityManagement
Last edit November 13, 2005
IdentityManagement
is an important domain within
SecurityManagement
, which in itself is a
StrategicManagement
concern.
There are intense expectations for material progress in the implementation of robust
IdentityManagement
schemes. This is because for years our industry have been building up business community expectations in regards to the utopia of
ServiceOrientedArchitecture
based organizations.
Numerous technological advances (e.g.
WirelessDevices
) have created more problems than our capacity to manage them.
Not just applicable to human users
"
IdentityManagement
"
term has also been seen in the context of "computing devices". Maybe one day
SemanticWeb
IdentityManagement
implementations would advance to the point where "service providers" would respond to the "service requestors" differently and in an automated fashion, depending on the compatibility of the requested service with the capabilities of the requestor.

One implementation of this structure is nearing completion. It requires WS-* standards promoted by
MicrosoftCorporation
and
IbmCorporation
. And therefore it meant either
MicrosoftDotNet
or the
JavaPlatform
, leaving out the
LampPlatform
.
Implementation
An "I
dentityMetasystem", including the use of a
WindowsVista
InfoC
ard component, will be the successor to
MicrosoftPassport
