Identity Governance Framework

Identity Governance Framework

The Identity Governance Framework is a strategic initiative of the Liberty Alliance that will define a set of standards to help enterprises easily determine and control how identity related information is used, stored, and propagated in appropriate and secure ways using protocols such as LDAP, SAML, and WS-Trust and ID-WSF.

Purpose

The Identity Governance Framework (IGF) enables organizations to define policies that regulate and control the exchange of identity related information between application systems both internally and with external partners. Identity related information may include things like names, addresses, social security numbers or other information that would be otherwise considered related to an individual's identity.

The policy information is both useful to privacy auditors for assessing the use of identity information in applications and to policy enforcement systems for ensuring that appropriate use of identity related information takes place.

History

IGF was originally announced by Oracle in [http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2006_nov/identity-governance-framework.html November, 2006] as a joint initiative between CA, HP, Layer 7 Technologies, Novell, Oracle, Ping Identity, Securent, and Sun Microsystems.

In February, 2007, the initiative was transferred to the Liberty Alliance to take the draft proposal forward and fully develop the standard.

In July, 2007, Liberty announced completion of the [http://www.projectliberty.org/index.php/liberty/news_events/press_releases/industry_leaders_submit_identity_governance_framework_to_openliberty_org_for_development_of_open_source_implementations Market Requirements Use Case] documentation.

The Liberty Alliance Technical Expert Group is currently working on completing first drafts of the specification.
