Abstract
Identity management is moving ahead rapidly. Shibboleth and InCommon are making great strides. Representatives from the banking and credit card industries are sitting around the table with federal and state government agencies in the Electronic Identity Assurance Expert Group (EIAEG) within the Liberty Alliance. The Credential Assessment Framework, developed by NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is being applied to an expanding federation of public and private institutions, including a number of campuses. The Identity Management working group will review these and other current activities of interest and chart a path for future action.
