Relationship To Existing Work
There has been a very large amount of work in delegated/federated
authentication systems, ranging from RADIUS/DIAMETER to
Shibboleth, Liberty, and SAML. It's not clear from this document or
from
the charter why something new is needed here. So, I think the
first order of business to establish what properties are required
here that present systems don't provide.
We define identity very broadly. There is much more to a person then
being able to authenticate.
In discussions with many web sites, it is much more interesting to
get properties about the user then to enable SSO.
Agree that the charter does not answer this question well.
