These participants will host the Business Interop which will showcase open identity as a business enabler, drawing examples from different levels of assurance across multiple trust federations, new browser-based applications that use identity services to automate cross-site user experiences, and the newest mobile applications available.

Additionally Kantara is heading the Authorization Standards Workshop, which will explore the most current developments and trends in identity authorization, such as OAuth, User-Managed Access, and XACML. [end]
