  2. Identity in an API Economy The API Economy and SAML • Introduction to the The API Economy Ecosystem • The Cambrian Explosion of Everything • An API for Everyone and Everything • Admin-based mapping is broken • E2S (Entity to Service) automation—beyond SAML • Summary

  3. Identity in an API Economy The API Economy • The Five KuppingerCole API tenets • Everything and everyone will be API-enabled • The API Ecosystem is core to any cloud strategy • Baking core competency in and API-set is an economic imperative • Enterprise inside-out • Enterprise outside-in

  4. The API Ecosystem Understanding the API Ecosystem • The API Ecosystem is divided into to type of API designs • The API Provider—the enterprise inside-out • The API Consumer—the enterprise outside-in

  5. The API Ecosystem Understanding the API Ecosystem • The API Provider—the enterprise inside-out • API types • Open APIs—published APIs for public consumption • Dark APIs—unpublished APIs for closed consumption • The API Consumer—the enterprise outside-in • API types • Open APIs—published APIs for public consumption • Dark APIs—unpublished APIs for closed consumption • Internal APIs—legacy applications with traditional information and resources

  6. The API Ecosystem Understanding the API Economy—the billionaire club

  7. The API Ecosystem Understanding the API Economy—Twitter unpacked • 13 billion API calls a day • 54 million+ calls an hour • 900,000+ calls per minute • 15,000+ calls per second Twitter traffic drove 2012 Olympic Coverage—All API-driven

  8. The API Ecosystem Understanding the API Ecosystem

  9. The API Ecosystem Open API Growth Rate

  10. The API Ecosystem API Growth Rate • Open APIs • We just hit the 7,000 API mark • 8,000 by year end • 16,000 by 2015 • Dark APIs • Dark APIs are 5x+/- Open API growth rate • 80,000 by 2015

  11. The Cambrian Explosion of Everything Growth In the Cambrian Era—unprecedented growth of life Source: Adapted from Wikipedia

  12. The Cambrian Explosion of Everything Apple’s numbers • 400 million iOS devices • 700,000 apps • Average person uses 100+ apps per device • 84 million iPads • 68% market share in 2012 • 17 million iPads sold in April-June 2012 • More iPads than any PC vendor’s entire product line • 94% of Fortune 500 are investing in or deploying iPads at work Source: Apple iPhone5 rollout

  13. The Cambrian Explosion of Everything Cisco’s predictions and KC API tenet #1 • 2.8x devices per person on the planet by 2015 • 19.6b devices • 7 billion people • Tenet #1: Everyone and Everything is API-enabled • 26.6 billion APIs

  14. Broken Model The Admin-based mapping model Is broken • Identity model for ALL current SAML-based systems do not scale • Identity model is Admin-based • All entities are mapped to services by people (Admins) • The Math • Mapping 26.6 billion entities to just one service • 640,000 admins 24 hours a day for 5 years • Apple numbers 100+/10 apps per device • Broken

  15. Federation is evolving

  16. The traditional federation approach: Direct connections

  17. The future federation approach: Meshed/service-focused

  18. E2S Automation e2s (Entity to Service) Automation—Beyond Admin-based SAML • Scalable SAML will require automation • Automation is enabled via APIs • The future of e2s identity mapping must be API-based to meet today’s demand • 400 million+ iOS devices • 26.6 billion APIs • These numbers are conservative

  19. E2S Automation e2s (Entity to Service) Automation—Beyond Admin-based SAML • OpenID Connect is SAML’s API future • Tractability unknown • No vendor is using it for automation yet • No vendor is doing e2s automation yet • SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is potential e2s automation protocol • Note: Salesforce Identity gives both of these standards a boost of reality.

  20. Identity in the API Economy Summary • SAML will not support all use cases (but some) • Other standards are not as mature • That means: • Don’t rely on an approach that is focused on traditional approaches • Understand these approaches as a subset of the big picture • Design your architecture for hat big picture • Start with the subset you need • Look for technology which is built for (or who’s suppliers are devoted to) the big picture
