Problem for assurance assertions -
Room 8: 2:00 – 3:00
Attribute Assurance
SAML2INT says you can only have one assertion. Would this need to be changed if we use attribute authorities?
...
Need: a credible set of people who can work as a committee to make value judgements about what matters in this area. Is this Kantara? Is this REFEDS? Do we want REFEDS to be this sort of a thing?
Need: to build towards a REFEDS profile under Kantara?
Need: credible use cases of people who really need specific levels of assurance.
Problems of the concept of a 'level'. Very few people want that level, they want a bit of this, a bit of that as an assurance profile that meets their specific set of requirements.
Where is the government requirements in this area? What about STORK? The new EU calls maybe a real opportunity to bring all of this together. The range of EU funded projects saying that they are doing 'pan european idenity'. Licia is being asked to lead this in TERENA. Needs to bring in EU-DAT, STORK, LIBER - much wider community.
