Chip & Pin vs. Shibboleth

Posted in Digital Identity, Identity Management by cro. Thursday September 22, 2005.

I was reviewing the Shibboleth specification today, and came across a process flow chart of the Shibboleth process. It looked familiar, (more so since Robin’s comments about the Chip & Pin service being an anonymous provider or an identity enabler rather than an identity provider) so I mapped it across the diagram I created the other day about the Chip & Pin network and identity transience.

Of course, it could just be co-incidental, but it looks good. (Click for a larger version)
