ITU-T IDENTITY MANAGEMENT UPDATE

1. Bilel Jamoussi, Chief, SGD/TSB ITU Abbie Barbir, Q10/17 Rapporteur ITU-T IDENTITY MANAGEMENT UPDATE

2. Highlight of IdM Current Activities • ITU-T Joint Coordination for IdM (JCA IdM) is under SG17 umbrella. • JCA IdM has developed an inventory of major national, regional and international Identity Management initiatives • ITU-T works collaboratively with other key bodies including: OASIS, ETSI; Kantara Initiative, OMA, NIST,ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 38, etc.. • ITU-T’s IdM focus work is on enhancing identity identification and enrolment through the development of better authentication assurance frameworks. Enhanced trust through open trust Frameworks, Identity in the Cloud, identity based services for mobile and finances and interoperability of diverse IdM capabilities in telecommunications. • The JCA-IdM analyzes IdM standardization items and coordinate an associated roadmap

7. Current Q10/17 IdM Focus • Interoperability of identity management • X.giim, Generic IdM interoperability mechanisms • X.idm-ifa, Framework architecture for interoperable identity management systems • X.idmcc, identity in the cloud • Trust of identity management • X.authi, Authentication integration in IDM • X.1254, Entity authentication assurance framework • X.oitf, Open identity trust framework • Discovery of of identity management information • X.discovery (X.1255), Framework for discovery of identity management information • Protection of personally identifiable information • X.1275, Guidelines on protection of personally identifiable information in the application of RFID technology

8. Challenges for IdM • Trend is towards the support of strong authentication in online transaction. A major challenge is how to enable the use of strong authentication techniques and best practices in an interoperable and secure fashion. • Identity Federations based on standardized trust model and global interoperability of diverse identity management schemas are major inhibitors to wide scale deployment of IdM capabilities • Development of just in time secure cloud standards for identity provisioning, de-provisioning and the control of fine grain authorizations. • Enhance online trust, reducing fraud and identity theft while protecting PII.

9. Conclusions • Identity based services is a key technology for cloud based SaaS • Online transaction requires means for identification of all parties involved in a transaction • There need for open interoperable trust frameworks for IdM • Identity Management continue to be a key security enabler for mobile and wireless interactions • Protection of Personally Identifiable Identifiers (PII) is a required capability for IdM systems

12. Object Identifiers (OIDs) • One of many identification schemes • Basically very simple: A tree • Arcs are numbered and may have an associated alphanumeric identifier (beginning with a lowercase) • Infinitely many arcs from each node (except at the root) • Objects are identified by the path (OID) from the root to a node • A Registration Authority (RA) allocates arcs beneath its node to subordinate RAs, and so on, to an infinite depth • The OID tree is a hierarchical structure of RAs • Standardized in the ITU-T X.660 | ISO/IEC 9834 series (ITU-T SG 17 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6) • Originated in 1985, still in use!
