The Challenges

  • We have a vetted list of requirements that an IdP would have to meet in order to serve the need for an Open R&S Identity Provider (ORSID <== better term than IdP of Last Resort, but no cigar: find another term).
  • We want to define a standard process by which federations can assess candidate ORSID providers and tag the approved ORSIDs.
  • We want to assure the long-term stability of identifiers issued by ORSID providers.
  • We want to assure that a person always has the option to migrate from one ORSID provider to another.
  • We want to allow individuals to carry the same identifier even if they move from one ORSID provider to another.
