The Future Of Federated Identity: Or, Whither SAML?

Join the next IAM Online (special day and time) for a session with Eve Maler, an expert on emerging identity and security at Forrester Research.

Session Abstract: The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) has been king of the federated identity hill for a decade, but there are mountains of use cases it doesn't answer well: mobile SSO, agile partnering, social sign-in, the long tail of SaaS services, and more. What are the stress points? What has rushed in to fill the gap? Eve will take a look at the past, present, and future of SAML and its cousins in the world of loosely coupled identity.

Eve Maler is a principal analyst at Forrester Research and is an expert on emerging identity and security solutions, identity federation, consumer-facing identity and web access management, distributed authorization, privacy enhancement, and web services security. She previously was an identity solutions architect with PayPal, and managed Sun Microsystems' technical collaborations with Microsoft on web services and federated identity interoperability. She made major leadership, technical, and education contributions to the development of the SAML standard for federated identity.
