Who are the You I care about

From InternetIdentityWorkshop

This session was led by Peter Tapling. Here's a picture of the Post-It board at the end of the session:

Simple notes from the meeting (my perspective) -- George Fletcher

You == 'carbon based life form'

Federation

• easier to accept federation if in the assertion there is some indication of value/strength/taxonomy of the 'you'
• describing claims of the identity

Types of 'You'

• my identity (personal)
• personal vs professional
• external vs private
• activity based
• profile attributes
• work, play and private

• I think these are more sets of claims about the identity
• identity attributes can be facts (over 21) and things I've done (driving history)
• need to keep in context who is "authoritative" for a given attribute
• how to verify attributes "asserted" by me or others when "showing up" at the site
• financial institutions really care
• believe its important to define taxonomies for sharing of attributes
• defined within specific domains
• too hard to parameterize it yet for federation
