Identity
How do we define identity in a distributed software system? How do we manage it securely? How do we make identity assertions and verify those claims?
Technologies don't magically become solutions. They are used within domain, design and deployment contexts. This talk will focus on the singular notion of Identity and how it cross-cuts the distributed systems we are building.
We will focus on a variety of technologies and standards that help us make, identify, claim and verify identities.
