New technologies lead the way in ID management
Identity 2.0 technologies are leading the way in identity management,
according to research from industry analysts. Analyst group Kuppinger Cole and
Partner analysed the 10 predominant topics and trends in identity management in
2008. Identity 2.0 continues to receive the support and influence of industry
giants, including Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and IBM. Identity 2.0 platforms are
classified as identity verification techniques on the internet using emerging
user-centric technologies such as information cards or OpenID. However, there
is a growing “superstructure” of governance, risk management and compliance
which has become the driving force in identity management. This is having a
strong impact on the change from administration-focused to business-orientated
identity management. Other trends include open systems, service-oriented
architectures and identity and access management growing together, and
authentication in the context of the user. “Some developmental aspects of
identity management have already raised interest levels in the past few weeks,
such as HP’s exit from the market,” said Martin Kuppinger, founder and senior
partner at Kuppinger Cole. Another factor is substantially improved support for
OpenID as one of the most important standards of Identity 2.0, an aspect that
is focused on the end user. “There are several other developments in identity
management that are not as prevalent, but that will have an effect on IT
development in general and could become a matter of wider public interest and
discussion,” said Kuppinger.
