| 1 | Identity Provider Assertion | In the "Intro to IF" document, this phrase is used a number of times. Was it invented for this text? Consider changing, perhaps to "Identity Assertion." The context makes the meaning clear, but that's from the perspective of someone who already understands the technologies. A newcomer might wonder if the assertion is "about" the IdP or "by" the IdP. | Walter H. | Scott Koranda | ||||||
| 2 | Intro document emphasis | While the "Intro. to Identity Federations" document is intended to overview "identity", paragraphs 1, 3, and 4 (of 4) talk more about information exchange (for authorization). Consider putting something like the two full paragraphs under "What Do We Trust" (i.e., "In a federated..." and "To enable ...") from the "Trusted Relationships" document up front in the "Intro" document to better explain the straightforward way identies are federated. Perhaps then follow with the fact that at the point at which participants are introduced, more can be shared (to the degree that an Identity-providing participant is able and willing). | B. Savage | |||||||
| 3 | None | In today's environment executives, managers, and others interested in understanding the purpose of federation can be understandably concerned about security incident response. The document should explain that the Federation Operator is, or will soon be, prepared to coordinate and assist with security incidents that span across organizations. | Scott Koranda | |||||||
| 4 | "Digital certificates to enable authentication of Participants' IdPs and SPs" | If the audience is executives, managers, and others interested in understanding the purpose of federation but without technical expertise than the less said about digital certificates the better. Consider eliminating that bullet. | Scott Koranda | |||||||
