An Open Identity for Business Interopability demonstration and an Authorization Standards Workshop will take place in San Diego at the Burton Catalyst event on July 27.

Businesses are faced with more options and decisions when it comes to addressing secure identity solutions. The event comes from the Kantara Initiative, an open forum allowing secure identity software users to divulge the existing challenges of the industry. Collaborarors include the OpenID Foundation, the Information Card Foundation, the Open Identity Exchange and Identity Commons.

These participants will host the Business Interop which will showcase open identity as a business enabler, drawing examples from different levels of assurance across multiple trust federations, new browser-based applications that use identity services to automate cross-site user experiences, and the newest mobile applications available.

Additionally Kantara is heading the Authorization Standards Workshop, which will explore the most current developments and trends in identity authorization, such as OAuth, User-Managed Access, and XACML.
