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.

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.
