EIC 2021 Attendee comments

Recordings: https://www.kuppingercole.com/events/eic2021/agenda

Vittorio

  • most useful feature was the networking
  • GAIN announcement
    • rather well received
    • not much challenge from the crowd
  • Dick Hardt's Hello announcement also got interest
    • Cooperative IDP
    • Non-profit
    • Privacy focused
    • Some musings on how the two are related
  • Self-given session on browser change impacts
    • raised awareness
    • not much action expected as a result unfortnately
  • Decentralized Identity had its own room/track
    • Kuppinger's summary did not mention D.I.
  • Considered this a transition event like Identiverse
    • e.g. Hybrid event
    • Fewer sales, attempt to instead carry ideas

Tim

  • Vittorio's session was great
    • Somewhat new information for the audience (especially at C-level)
    • Useful for simplifying it down to high-level topics

Mike

  • Productive due to in-person collaboration (finally)
    • DPoP progress due to interaction with editors
    • Hard to get buy-in on new ideas virtually
  • About a third of the number of people - many as speakers and vendors

Kristina

  • Agrees D.I. was not highlighted as part of the core
  • Individual use-cases seem to be making progress, but still within its own silo
    • The OIDC work seemed to get more interest as a result

Nat

  • GAIN proof of concept
    • By a combination of OIX and IIF (international institute of finance)

Specification Updates

Thanks to Edmund, Torsten, Kristina and more for their work in publishing new drafts before EIC

OpenID Federation Draft 3

  • Additions since Draft 2
  • Draft 3 likely the last before final release
  • Encourage review of any sections which may be used by your work (e.g. entity statements)

FAPI Grant management

  • implementors draft vote succeeded

OpenId Connect for Identity Assurance Draft 3

  • Used by GAIN work and banking federations (yes.com)

SIOPv2

  • release in two weeks
  • Expect to merge cross-device SIOP and resolvable entity identifiers
  • Proposal by Jeremie for a solution for larger responses, nearly identical to PAR
  • Discussion by Mike and Jeremie on how to resolve that PAR talks about requests exclusively
    • New document replacing request with response
    • Do you redefine the metadata values
    • Mike: better to describe what is different rather than copying text

Issues

1339 JWT Handling of Edge-Case VCs

Kristina: Believe issue is out of scope w.r.t. OIDC

Defining language on VCs/VPs would serve as restrictions on what sort of credentials could be transported.

1340 Sending the Presentation Definition by Reference

Jeremie: use case given can be solved by request_uri, asked to do a PR but lower priority

DW: use case for presentation definitions by reference in general (e.g. defining credential format as part of a trust framework of issuers), but not needed for this particular issue

1338 Custom Scheme for Post logout redirect uri

Terminate RP-intiiated logout on a non http(s) URL.

Resolved to ask for clarification of the use case/architecture
