Research on Security and Identity Management (by Marco Casassa Mont) : Identity in the Cloud

Part III: The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities

I am surprised by the number of people and organizations that have been asking me to give a rerun of the presentation on "The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities" - that I previously gave at the Open Group Security Practitioners Conference, London, 27 April 2009.

A copy of this presentation is now available here, in my web page.

I am currently working on a new version of it (for the EEMA e-Identity Conference 2009), to keep into account recent developments and new interesting aspects/concerns related to Identity in the Cloud.

I still believe that "Security Assurance" is the hot topic for Cloud Computing and specifically "Identity Assurance" is a key concern for Identity in the Cloud.

The presentation on "The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities" that I gave at the Open Group Security Practitioners Conference, London, 27 April 2009, is now available online, at http://www.opengroup.org/conference-live/ along with the ones of the other presenters (Security Plenary Presentation Section).

Thanks to the people who provided me with inputs and material about this topic.

The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities

marcocasassamont — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:14:00 GMT

I am preparing my presentation, called "The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities" (http://www.opengroup.org/london2009-spc/mont.htm) for the coming Open Group Security Practitioners Conference, London, 27 April 2009.

In particular I am very keen in discussing current models and architectures underpinning both Cloud Computing and Identity in the Cloud, along with discussions of risks, issues and (users' and organisations') requirements.

This is a good opportunity to get additional input from this community, in particular related to Identity in the Cloud, if you have specific concerns, issues or you would like to share requirements.
