Next up on the RSA Conference 2008 at San Francisco press release conveyor belt is Symlabs, one of the driving forces behind Identity Management standards that surpass current federated SSO.
By now they will have already demonstrated at the Liberty Alliance Workshop their system for provisioning software credentials to users, as part of the San Francisco RSA Conference 2008. This product, Liberty Advanced Client, will soon be available as part of the Federated Identity Suite from Symlabs, and is interoperable with Intel’s Identity Capable Platform and BT’s Registration Application Browser Plugin.
Conor P. Cahill, Principal Engineer at Intel was quoted as saying:
“Liberty Advanced Client standards leverage Trusted Modules, which are client-side tamper-proof security modules, to enable mobility and strong authentication of users. The provisioning process we are demonstrating is essential for building a mobile trust infrastructure that enables federated identity to work when an Internet connection is unavailable.”
These standards allow not just Trusted Platform Module-based (TPM) to be loaded with credentials and software, but also mobile phone SIMs, other hardware trusted computing environments and even software-based implementations. Stronger authentication, better privacy protection, and strong user identity are some of the benefits springing from this.
More details of this technology can be read in the press release republished at Sun Herald.
