Background Reading
2017 Mid-year LC Blog Update
We are at the mid-point of 2017 now: time for a quick update on initiatives related to the Groups side of Kantara.
- At the Board of Directors strategic development meetings in 2017, a new Kantara mission statement was developed and approved:
The Kantara Initiative is the global consortium improving trustworthy use of identity and personal data through innovation, standardization and good practice. - Breaking this mission down to its core assertions, one can see that the Leadership Council and the Groups we lead are embodying and advancing the mission.
- "Global Consortium": Kantara group participants are Kantara members and non-member participants from around the globe. This brings fruitful contrasting views to solving problems and developing consensus publications.
- "Trustworthy use of Identity": Many of the Kantara Groups are working on digital identity topics: Identity Assurance, Identity Relationship Management, ID Pro
- "Trustworthy use of Personal Data": UMA, Consent and Information Sharing and other Groups being formed in the second half of 2017
- "Innovation": Lots of ground-breaking development of concepts and specifications - Kantara Groups are open participation and intended to foster innovation with low barriers to participate
- "Standardization": Group publications feed into the Kantara Conformity Assessment Program. Organizations are able to undergo 3rd party certification that they fulfill the requirements of Identity Assurance standards. By the end of 2017, Kantara plans to have additional Conformity Assessment Schemes available for 1st party attestation and 3rd party certification, initially focused on Privacy Notice and Consent processes.
- "Good Practice": Kantara Groups provide the platform for technical communities to assemble and develop consensus publications of good practice in their interest area. The organizational processes of Kantara are able to take these statements of good practice into standards publications and through to Conformity Assessment and certification.
- In the first half of 2017, our Groups have been finalizing and publishing Reports and Recommendations for public consumption:
- SAML v2.0 Implementation Profile for Federation Interoperability
- Consent Receipt Technical Specification Recommendation v1.0
- Refining the Design Principles of Identity Relationship Management v2.0f
- Report from the Blockchain and Smart Contracts Discussion Group to the Kantara Initiative
- UMA 2.0 Grant for OAuth 2.0 Authorization
- Federated Authorization for UMA 2.0
- The net result is a noticeable uptick in interest in Kantara's ID Assurance Conformity Assessment Program and increased interest in Kantara membership.
- All of which is fulfilling one of the informal primary objectives of the Leadership Council: to cause interesting work to happen and be published for the good of the broader digital identity and personal data community.
Please spread the word and invite your colleagues to participate - we always need bright sparks to engage and use Kantara to achieve their goals - it's the power source for the engine!
