January 2009 by Marc Jacob
Liberty Alliance announced a new global telecom group formed to identify and eliminate the technology and policy issues telecom operators face when it comes to the wide scale deployment of interoperable identity-enabled enterprise and Web 2.0 applications and services.
Launched by Liberty Alliance members from Ericsson, NEC, NeuStar, Orange, Symlabs and TeliaSonera, and chaired by Jose Luis Mariz of Ericsson, the group is the tenth vertical-specific Liberty Alliance special interest group (SIG) that is open to the public. The goal of the group is to develop best practices for managing identity-information and identity-enabled transactions and services in the telecom and service provider industries, and to advance identity-enabled telecom applications based on Liberty SAML 2.0 Federation, Liberty Identity Web Services (ID-WSF 2.0) and the policy-based Liberty Identity Assurance Framework. The entire press release follows.
