Action Item discussion - Repository work

New section in use case repository: Higher Ed/Research
  • review of VO use case (Heather)
  • Review of account linking use case (Heather)
    • Action Item: please review the linked doc
  • Review of social identity gateway (Keith)
  • Review of Attribute Aggregation (Keith)
    • Action Item: move that section under VO section above
    • this area is potentially a gap; no one on the call was able to identity a specific area/group working strongly in this space; there are some tentative moves in this area but more work must be done in this space
US Gov use case?
  • Mapping PIV to SAML - potential use case? not too dissimilar to the social2SAML gateway, this would be a PKI2SAML situation
    • Action Item: Sal to post this to the use case repository
Attribute Mapping
  • talk about the different Identity Providers and who provides what; begin to map what is out there if someone were in the attribute providing service, something more than just identifiers; not to converge on definitions but to see if we agree to who provides what (something referred to in the Trust Frameworks metamodel?)
  • are we profiling what an attribute authority will respond to or what it will respond with? if we try to tackle semantics, that's really too big
    • we do have a set of commonly used attributes (eduPerson, healthperson, core LDAP attributes) to be used as references
    • for attribute assurance levels we have to be cautious about calling it an assurance level until we have an idea of what kind of metrics we can use around attribute assurance
Use cases of attribute release models
  • individual user consent
  • attributes of a company are released per service provider based on legal requirements, but employee in the company is never asked for consent to release their corporate attributes
egov information in Requirements
  • holding off on more detailed discussion until Colin is present
    • Action Item for group: review this section and see what applies

Review of Kantara Workshop

  • Sal did an eGov presentation
  • was quite a bit of conversation by/around topic of attributes; one of the large background database companies were represented and they did not want to be in the business of attributes, they wanted to be just answering questions about individuals
    • Action item: if we could get representation from that group, that would be good for this DG (Sal)

90 day deliverable

  • the smallest group within which we find gaps is where we need to start, in order to be able to have something actionable
  • engaging federations may work, but that might still be large
Gaps identified so far
  • assurance level of attributes
  • what do we define for a federation of attribute authorities (which is different than a federation of identity authorities) you'd obviously need common semantics among that group, but what would they be?

OASIS Trust Elevation Meeting

  • Abbie and Joni will both attend that meeting and Sal will ask for feedback from them

Any Other Business... Adjourn
