Identity Management Working GroupThe focus of the Working Group is to facilitate the implementation of Identity Management Systems (IdMs) designed to meet functional standards and guidelines developed by various public- and private-sector projects and organizations, including Internet2, NMI (the National Science Foundation Middleware Initiative), NIST, the federal eAuthentication initiative, the E-Authentication Partnership, and others. Conceptually, Identity Management has evolved to include policies, procedures and the broad spectrum of technologies required to establish institutional IdM systems. Operational areas of interest include identity vetting, credentialing, person registries, directories, public key infrastructure (PKI), authentication services, authorization services, attribute release and acceptance policies, federations and relying user applications. Appropriately designed systems integrated among participating institutions can also be "trusted" to provide services enabling the sharing of restricted resources across institutional boundaries. For more information about the Working Group and its Spin-off Activities (SOA's), see the Working Group Charter. The EDUCAUSE Connect Identity Management Resource Page provides extensive coverage of identity and access management topics of interest to the higher education community. It aggregates information from blogs, conference sessions, EDUCAUSE publications, and more. The Working Group is also actively developing the Identity Management wiki.
