BOF Description - Objectives


1. To consider the creation of a new IETF working group within the Applications Area titled "Digital Identity Exchange". The proposed charter for such a working group is referenced below.


2. To discuss and hone the scope of a DIX working group.


3. To discuss the architectural requirements that derive from the laws of identity identified by ‘The Identity Gang’ at ‘The Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School’. Referenced below.


4. To discuss existing architectural implementations within the context of these requirements. An individual submission Internet Draft that describes one such implementation is referenced below, named ‘draft-merrells-dix-00.txt’


5. To determine if there is enough interest and commitment to form a Working Group and if so to then discuss what the specific goals and milestones of that working group would be.
