- There were comments on componentization and breakdown of the TFP solution on the elements in identity access management, CSP versus Token manager versus Identity manager.
- Agencies are looking for solutions where they don´t have to have individual components.
- Although the agencies have the option of a full service CSP, there are other agencies and subordinated organizations that want to contract for their own identity proofing and outsource the token manager piece and this option should be available.
- It is relevant to identify what the market demand is.
- There is a need for global metadata for a number of attributes, have a global set of metadata for a standardized set of attributes.
- Incommon is part of the global interfederation service eduGAIN, where Federation Operators register themselves and their metadata, and then eduGAIN combines all the national registries and republishes them in one large file: https://www.incommon.org/edugain/
- Semantic interoperability. It was cited the message from Martin Smith: “The goal of the discussion would be to generate ideas on how bottom-up and top-down approaches might be combined to create a semantic standardization process that would maximize interoperability, avoid element name collisions, minimize superfluous duplication (i.e., promote re-use), but which, nevertheless, would not have to be so centralized and inflexible and huge as to be impossible to implement”.
- It was suggested to start in the TFS Sync Group a list of core attributes and metadata definition for core attributes.
