Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management Roadmap Now Publicly AvailableCreated by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on November 19, 2009
The Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management Roadmap and Implementation Guidance is now publicly available. The purpose of this 220-page document is to outline a common framework for Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) within the Federal Government and to provide supporting implementation guidance for program managers, leadership, and stakeholders as they plan and execute a segment architecture for ICAM management programs. The Roadmap provides courses of action, planning considerations, and technical solution information across multiple federal programs spanning the disciplines of identity, credential, and access management.
EDUCAUSE Joins InCommon FederationCreated by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on November 4, 2009
EDUCAUSE announced today it has joined the InCommon Federation, the U.S. identity and access management federation. In an identity federation like InCommon, participating identity providers (such as colleges and universities) and resource providers (like EDUCAUSE) agree on a set of shared policies, processes, and technology standards. This greatly streamlines collaboration among multiple organizations because federation members agree on these policies and processes once, rather than each time they sign a contract with a new partner. Read more in the press release.
