A new IETF non-working group email list has been created. List address: vot@ietf.org Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/vot/ To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vot Purpose: Since the publication of RFC 2527 there have been several attempts to standardize technology-independent frameworks for describing the concerns that go into a determination of inter-organizational and transactional trust. Notable examples include NIST SP 800-63, The Kantara Identity Assurance Framework (historically originating from the Liberty Alliance and Electronic Authentication Partnership) and ISO 29115. These documents have been profiled and reworked a number of times in the last few years. The vot@ietf.org list is for discussion of a common set of baseline "vectors of trust": common, orthogonal aspects of organization, technology and policy that help to determine the level of assurance that can be placed in a deployment of digital identity technology. Work will draw on deployment experience related to web identity technology (eg SAML, OAUTH and OpenID Connect) as well as experience with current state of the art in identity assurance.
