Next Gen of WEB-2.0 ID Aware Architecture

Fulup started with a really good overview of identity as a concept, comparing analogue life identity handling with the digital age.
Key take-away 1: It is not the attributes that are confidential, it's the connections between them. Cmp. name and medical record.
Key take-away 2: the purpose of identity is not authentication, but authorization. Cmp. driver licence.
The rest of the session was describing all the attributes that need to be considered when deploying identity in the WEB-2.0 context, e.g. user consent and federating Identity Providers.
