Using your Online Identity

Jason Kolb has blogged the third part of his idea of how to give an online identity to the masses and what they can do with it. This extends his previous postings (here and here) which I commented on here. I find this whole concept of his very interesting indeed. What he seems to be doing is taking the existing URI based Identity services (e.g. OpenID, LID etc) and extending… Read More »Using your Online Identity

OpenID added

After moving my blog to its new location, I have started to look at how I can customise it and add functionality. As an advocate of Identity Management and user-centric identity, I thought it only fitting that I add OpenID support as my first plugin. As a result, you will now find that in order to leave a comment on my blog you can either: 1) Register as normal2) Use… Read More »OpenID added

Application-Centric IdM – Is this not already here?

Defining Application-Centric IdM Whilst catching up with everyones feeds after my recent holiday, I came across this post by Nishant Kaushik of Oracle about Application-Centric IdM and its definition. During his post he states: “The idea is that instead of each application having to build these infrastructures as part of their functionality, they can just avail of them as ready made, standards-based services. Application-centric IdM moves away from the traditional… Read More »Application-Centric IdM – Is this not already here?

Giving an online Identity to the masses

Jason Kolb has recently been discussing here how the internet is forming an integral part of our lives. He further goes on to describe (here) his quite ingenious plan for giving out domain names to the masses. Not top-level domains as current internet savvy people have, but sub-domains that the ordinary “Joe Public” can have. As Jason states: “Obviously, it’s not feasible to expect the general public to pay $7.99a… Read More »Giving an online Identity to the masses

My Blog is Moving

At long last I have bought my own domain name and some web hosting space. I have always put this off in the past due to time and effort.

Back from Amsterdam

I’m back!! After 4 days in Amsterdam I have returned. What a great place. Both Natalya and I really enjoyed our time there. As usual, we tried to cram loads of stuff in to a very tightly packed 4 days. I can safely say that we managed it. Without boring you too much with all the details, below are some of the main places we visited and things we did… Read More »Back from Amsterdam
