Liberty Alliance, the global identity community working to build a more trust-worthy internet for consumers, governments and businesses worldwide, announced a call for nominations for the 2008 IDDY Awards. The IDDY Award (IDentity Deployment of the Year) recognizes identity-based applications built using Liberty Federation (SAML 2.0), Liberty Web Services, Liberty People Service and Liberty Advanced Client specifications. The call for nominations ends on Monday, June 16, with winners announced on June 30. IDDY Awards will be presented at CSO magazine’s Digital ID World 2008 conference (September 8-10) in Anaheim, CA.
This year’s IDDY Awards program includes a call for nominations in three categories, a Liberty-based deployment, a Liberty-based emerging application and a new multi-protocol category. The new award is designed to shine a spotlight on applications that leverage the proven interoperability of Liberty Alliance standards in multi-protocol implementations to help advance the next generation of secure and privacy-respecting Liberty-based enterprise and user-driven Web 2.0 applications.
