beyond \'who\' (some day)
where it says, in 4.3 Entity identification
Recommending a presentation for these
designators that helps the user recognize which entity they are
currently conversing with, and when they are switching to a
different entity, is a primary concern of this Working Group.
please consider
The likely shape of a better world of trust includes the terms of the
engagement beyond just \'who.\' Absolutely, the state of what works today is
limited to \"who\" am I talking to.
And DNS domains are about as scientific a \'who\' as users ever resolve in their
fuzzy brains, by way of entities that are not human individuals.
On the other hand, there is still a lot of dissatisfaction from consumers
about organizations taking information disclosed for a finite purpose and
redistributing it beyond what the user understood as the purpose of that
disclosure. So the group should be aware of contemporary work to model trust
decisions in terms of contextual integrity where the parameteters of a context
desiring integrity are the defining characteristics of shared tasks as well as
who is in or out of the circle of the conversation.
please consider
attribute certificates in the picture, eventually (bearer is known to me and
assertion/attribute is true about said bearer). User can provide a voucher
for certified quality, not requiring disclosure of user\'s identity.
Why?
The parking meter needs to know you are a qualifying individual to use
disabled parking spots, but it does not need to know exactly who you are.
There are, in the best of all possible worlds, many correlates for this in the
world of B2C transactions. So while a clear communication of \"who is in the
scene, and who am I conversing with?\" is the name of the game for now, the
total picture in the long term may use attribute certificates as well as
identity certificates - Related Actions Items:
