Testimonials
“As I have said before…the work of the Liberty Alliance can be perceived as focusing on server-to-server protocols for enterprise-centric federation. Its work on client-enablement, however, provides compelling evidence that this is not the case.”
“The formation of the Liberty Identity Assurance Expert Group helps to ensure the broadest possible industry support for advancing online identity assurance interoperability.”
“What we really want is to get a pretty ubiquitous, interoperable privacy response layer for identities on the Internet…To ensure greater productivity, we need interoperability—it’s the easiest way to bring them together.”
“Liberty's open and more inclusive membership structure provides new opportunities for individuals, governments and enterprise of all sizes and in every market sector to both leverage and participate in the work of the Alliance.”
“The Liberty Alliance’s Contractual Framework Outline for Circles of Trust provides businesses with a starting point for their thinking and a context within which to discuss federation issues with potential partners. As such it’s a necessary step on the road to a future in which federations are routinely and efficiently created online.”
“Federated ID will be crucial in deploying this idea of having an electronic record for every patient that can be accessed from anywhere at any time by an authorized person. No other technology out there can provide that.”
“Follow the Liberty Alliance's efforts in the IGF area. Be ready to start using its common language when defining, architecting and designing your internal solution at maturity.”
“In health care, an individual could use People Service to designate the people entitled to view medical records. Users could mark a specific doctor as a friend in their social networks.”
“By developing the IGF standards in Liberty Alliance, Oracle is helping to ensure the broadest possible industry support for advancing the framework quickly.”
“Interoperability of identity products and solutions is key to the successful and wide scale deployment of federation, Web services, SOAs and social networking applications.”
“Liberty fully recognizes that interoperability issues have been a roadblock to the advancement of Web services. Our members expect us to solve this problem…and we will.”
“The U.S. federal government's adoption puts considerable weight behind the standard and its continued adoption and maturation. Governments and enterprises planning new identity federations should base their implementations on the SAML 2.0 standards.”
“SAML.2.0 is providing organizations in every sector with an open, secure and flexible foundation for advancing trusted inter-federations on a global scale.”
“"As a member and long-time supporter of Liberty Alliance, Symlabs believes that great benefit comes from cooperation between companies seeking to address the complex problem of creating trusted environments that both share and protect sensitive information. IGF is a welcome initiative to take the expression of the attribute requirements and policies to the next level. Liberty Alliance protocols were always meant to work in a framework of policy descriptions. The universe needing these solutions embraces business, government, academic, and personal applications, so the benefits derived from IGF and Liberty Alliance working together will go far," ”
“"We're very pleased to see that Oracle has submitted the Identity Governance Framework to the Liberty Alliance," said Don Bowen, director of Identity Integration for Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Sun believes Liberty is well suited because of its business and technical experts from all verticals, including government. Its work in the area of data privacy is not only valuable, but essential."”
