Looking forward to this week’s nice little security conference organized by my old friends at ERNW.

Federated Identity – Opportunities and Risks
The world is moving towards a federated identity model. Public facing websites like Google or Facebook utilize technologies like OpenID, OAuth and WRAP to provide single-sign-on capabilities. Enterprises and ISVs start deploying WS-Federation, WS-Trust and SAML to federate with customers, partners and even internally. The goals are always the same: provide a more meaningful representation of “identity” for authentication, authorization and personalization. This talks sheds light on all these technologies, how they work and how to secure them.
