Thanks to all who attended the webcast on ArisID this morning!  It’s always great to talk about this stuff and share ideas!

A copy of the presentation can be obtained here.

Also, as promised, here is a video of the Sonic Records ArisID demonstration.  You can view it online here.  Or, you can download the full-size video here (24MB).

From Liberty Alliance:

ArisID, the first open source software implementing Liberty Identity Governance Framework (IGF) components, provides enterprise developers and system architects with a library for building enterprise-grade identity-enabled applications using multiple identity protocols, and lays the groundwork for allowing enterprises to manage and audit the identity requirements of business applications based on declarative IGF policy specifications. This webcast will provide participants with an overview of the ArisID API, discuss benefits for developers and enterprises, and review the project roadmap. Developers will understand how to begin using ArisID to build IGF-based applications and the identity community and vendors will gain insight into how the open source ArisID API and information providers help fulfill multi-protocol identity management requirements.

For those of you who have been following my blog, you’ll know I have been talking for sometime about IGF and the need for a declarative identity API in order to making identity services more relevant to developers. Here’s your chance to see more about what I’ve been talking about all this time.

For some time now, there has been a lot of work going on at OpenLiberty to design a new “declarative” API that enables application developers to write applications that consume, and manage identity information in a way that allows infrastructure components take care of all the nasty problems like
* Which protocol to use
* What data providers are appropriate for the current transaction
* How do I write robust code given that I don’t know the protocols or APIs very well?

Well, the answer is here. Release 1.0 of ArisId is now available at OpenLiberty.

The ArisID API implements the CARML (Client Attribute Requirements Markup Language) and Privacy Constraints IGF specifications Liberty Alliance released earlier this year. ArisID demonstrates how CARML and Privacy Constraints policies may be used by developers to create declarative identity applications. The open source ArisID declarative approach defines what identity-enabled transactions can be performed to ensure applications only use identity information required to complete a transaction. This allows developers to build secure identity-enabled enterprise applications that are easily auditable and protect the personally identifiable information (PII), such as a social security number or credit information, of people engaging in enterprise identity-enabled transactions.

I would like to thank my Oracle colleagues who have contributed to the project, as well as the members of OpenLiberty for hosting this project. There is much more to come, stay tuned!
