Claims Agent Working Group

Project Name
Claims Agent Working Group

Purpose
The purpose of this working group is to (i) create a forum for the development of standards-based, interoperable, verified claims agent implementations (which would include both open source and commercial components), to (ii) initially focus on specific scenarios that the community and customers work together to implement and deploy end-to-end and (iii) provide funding and other incentives for the development of open source components. A verified claims agent is a set of software components that allows the user to utilize claim-sets from different sources at relying parties (RPs) of their choosing, under their control, using technology that helps to protect their privacy and helps to ensure the security of the system end to end. Verified claims come from sources that do the verification and digitally sign the claims-sets; the agent itself does not do the verification and do not resign the claims or sets.

Status
The Claims-Agent Working group in its formation phase. It has already started having weekly meetings. The proposed charter has completed its Identity Commons discussion period. After the charter has been updated to reflect the discussions on the 1/28/11 conference call. We will call for a Identity Commons vote to formally create the working group.
