What Do You Mean, Identity 2.0?
Identity management means different things to different people—everything
from passwords through pgp to marketing preferences. What are the essential
elements of the Identity 2.0 movement, and why should a system administrator
care about any of this in the first place?
This talk will discuss the current state of Identity 2.0, starting with a
brief survey of identity management from AAA to the user-centric identity
model of Identity 2.0. I will then use Jon Callas's breakdown
of identity management types to categorize and describe how and why the
average system administrator would implement Identity 2.0.
Cat Okita is a professional paranoid and lapsed system administrator.
