Now More Than One Billion Liberty-enabled Devices and Identities
The traction is real and the returns are substantial for organizations across the globe deploying Liberty-based solutions. This section provides the detail you need to understand Liberty's influence across verticals, within organizations, through other standards activities, and what you need to know to achieve success and returns for your deployment.
Who's Using Liberty?
In an ongoing research effort, we are tracking adoption of Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services specifications. Please note that many implementers and deployers consider their work to be a strong competitive differentiator, so have requested varying degrees of anonymity – as such, some of these are listed in generic form in italics and many are not listed at all. The information provided is intended to be a sampling of the large amount of work underway globally. We welcome you to share information on your implementation or deployment with us. For easier viewing, we have divided the deployments by industry segment.

Liberty Alliance Web Services Framework: A Technical Overview
This overview enumerates the major features of Liberty Web Services, a framework for identity-based
services that provides added value for identity, security, and privacy above and beyond basic web
services, and thereby makes identity data portable across domains.

SOA: Protecting the Architecture by Leveraging Standards webcast
With the rapid adoption of SOA, there is an equally prominent pain point around the ability to protect the architecture as a whole. Many of the solutions currently being deployed are focused on protecting web services. However, this addresses only part of the architecture…it does not address the need to enforce policies around non-web services, the ESB, etc., and doesn’t even begin to address the proactive opportunity of enabling single sign on across the architecture in a heterogenous environment or acknowledge the roll identity has to play in the overall solution.
This webcast focuses on this business challenge, introducing a possible solution based on injecting identity into the SOA architecture through all its layers to enforce policy and enable SSO. It looks at standards such as SAML 2.0, ID-WSF, WS-Trust and WS-Security, and how they are leveraged in this solution (all you Concordia followers….this webcast is a must!). It also examines how a Security Token Service (STS) is used in this solution to enable security and translation of tokens in a heterogenous environment where we have both standards based and proprietary implementations. This webcast explores the future of federated authorization where developers can leverage XACML and SAML 2.0 as well as commerical applications that are identity aware and pluggable into and existing identity infrastructure.
