Eve Maler on Identity, OAuth and What Consumers Will Never Be

Eve Maler on Identity, OAuth and What Consumers Will Never Be
by Alex Williams

We spent some time at the RSA Conference with Eve Maler yesterday. Eve is well-known for her work around how emerging technologies fit with the changing scope of identity. Eve is the chair of Project Concordia, which cultivates use cases around identity protocols as a means for establishing interoperability.

Eve gives her view about OAuth and why IT may be getting more consumer tech focused but never will it be the other way around.

I have to wonder which companies will be addressing the “consumerization of the cloud” experience? Can one company hope to come up with a strategy that allows medium sized business to deliver a secure environment considering all the moving targets?

	PayPal UK Launch Security Key - Guest Posting from PayPal I am happy to say they are using VeriSign Identity Protection to deliver this, which means that PayPal Customers will be able to use their token at other sites who join the VIP network. PayPal are the first UK members of the network, but there are around 30 other members in different countries around the world so you can expect to see more places where you can use your token in the UK appearing shortly. Facebook scam - Part 2 This just in from the BBC web site, Symantec have identified a virus that steals user names and passwords, nothing new there. But, if I understand this right, it is delivered through a Facebook invitation from someone you don't know and delivers malware which can then steal user names / passwords and also keylog credit card info. Survey finds passwords are not secure - well d'uh! I don't think the vendor community has been crying wolf about the problems that stronger authentication solves, more like highlighting that this problem is here and growing. Well the discussion I have had recently with many different organisations across many different industries are now resulting in more and more consumer projects in this area
