Re: [Ghost] Proposed Structure for Organizing Standards Information

Hi Mike,

The intern returned to school and he was going to let me know if he
would have time to do more work, but it appears he does not.  If
anyone can help with an intern, I think that would spur on this work
and could be a very good learning experience with someone who is
motivated.

Is anyone having trouble accessing the Google doc?

Thanks,
Kathleen

Finding out what the state of the art (or state of practice) for authentication in different types of devices would be really useful. I guess this is just a use case, but I would be interested in what is currently being used for device ID (vs. user authentication) for various types of devices as well.

For those that have not looked at the google doc, this would be the use cases and device types for authentication, allowing you to drill down to other links (existing where possible) to learn more about the options.  We will likely need 2 levels before a branch out or to specify what is needed in the landing pages for options available.

I like the idea of a short introduction to each topic and then moving on to specific situations (use cases and device types; maybe deployment scenarios as well, such as how big is the set of things that have to authenticate to each other, or how will keys be provisioned). In general, I like the idea of quickly getting to specifics and providing pointers to appropriate standards.

I think even concentrating on a specific scenario (signed email) could be enlightening, considering the differences when you're all part of an enterprise vs. a community with no central authority.
