Hi All
I don't normally push my blog pieces on to this list as I'm sure you all
have better things to read, but I've just written a piece where we are
specifically looking for feedback on ways to encourage richer attribute
release: http://access.jiscinvolve.org/wp/name-rank-and-number/.
I think it is fair to say that we are not currently exploiting the full
potential of federated access by mostly sticking to a very limited
release of attributes to all Service Providers. The blog post above
talks about 2 ideas to improve this:
1. Asking Service Providers to sign-up to a 'Code of Conduct' to give
IdPs more assurance of the behaviour towards personal data, and;
2. 'SP Categories' to which a federation would assign SPs, with IdPs
being given the option to release a standard set of attributes to the
group.
We'd be very interested in feedback on these proposals and any other
ideas you have on attribute release and management within the UK more
generally.
With many thanks
Nicole
