Our founder and CEO, Dick Hardt, did an in-depth interview last week at IIW with Tom Maddox of Opinity. In this 30 minute comprehensive podcast they discuss: what digital identity management should look like, Sxip's support of Open Source technology, some of the limitations of Microsoft InfoCard, and more.
Dick expands on his view of the key success factors to an Identity 2.0 system, which he believes must be based on the following:
Internet-scale - truly portable and not a closed circle of trust.
Community driven - many people should be involved in designing the solution and it needs to be able to move all types of identity data. And the transport of the data must be separate from the payload.
Easy to adopt - zero footprint on the browser so that consumers don't need to download software and simple for websites to implement.
Protect privacy - architected so that users don't need to disclose more than absolutely necessary.
Functionality gradient - choice of security level from lightweight to highly secure, so that similar with for example Perl programming, "the easy things are easy and the hard things are possible".
