IDDY Awards
The IDDY Award (IDentity Deployment of the Year) recognizes identity-based applications built using Liberty Federation, Liberty Web Services, Liberty People Service and Liberty Advanced Client specifications.
This year’s IDDY Awards program includes a call for nominations in three categories, a Liberty-based deployment, a Liberty-based emerging application and a new multi-protocol category. The new award is designed to shine a spotlight on applications that leverage the proven interoperability of Liberty Alliance standards in multi-protocol implementations to help advance the next generation of secure and privacy-respecting Liberty-based enterprise and user-driven Web 2.0 applications.
IDDY Award winners are some of the organizations driving over one billion Liberty-enabled identities and devices in the marketplace today.
