[With Slidecast discontinued, you can see the video (presentation + audio) on my blog at http://blog.talkingidentity.com/2013/07/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-identity.html] Is Identity the Answer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? [Part 1 of the Hitchhiker's Guide to Identity workshop from Cloud Identity Summit 2013] Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the Galaxy, and it is in order that this situation should not be in any way exacerbated that I will reveal in advance that the answer is No. But Identity is the New Perimeter and the Great Enabler of Next. Establishing that big bold idea, this session will lay out what we mean by Identity, and how attributes, relationships, identifiers, entitlements and the notion of Context fit into the ever-expanding branches of identity management like lifecycle management, provisioning, verification, compliance and federation.
