Report Published from Identity in the Browser Workshop; Charter in Development

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 30 August 2011

W3C today published the final report of the W3C Identity in the Browser workshop, hosted by Mozilla 24-25 May in Mountain View, California. More than 80 representatives from various organizations participated, including major browser developers such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla, and Netflix as well as companies wanting a more secure identity mechanism for the Web, such as Workshop sponsors RSA, Paypal, and Yahoo!. The report suggests opportunities for standardization to make the Web a more secure platform, in particular by enabling identity to be built on top of reliable cryptography in the browser. W3C is now developing a draft Working Group charter; contact Harry Halpin if interested.
