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.

Access to Identity-Enabled Web Services in Cross Border, Inter-Federation Scenario
Mature deployers of federated systems—and the smaller organizations with whom they are federating—are more and more facing the challenge of federating with other organizations with whom they don't have a direct business relationship as they expand their federated circles of trust. In doing so, they are able to unlock and access numerous rich identity-based web services that can be used to enhance business offerings, bring ease of use to their customers, and reduce administrative costs. But how can this best be achieved—and can it even be achieved with today's standards? This webcast, presented by the editors of a recently released whitepaper with the same title (http://www.projectliberty.org/index.php/liberty/resource_center/papers) explores different potential options to access identity-based web services in inter-federation scenarios, specifically by using features such as Discovery Service Proxying, Inter-Circle of Trust Discovery, and Direct Access. The webcast will culminate in exploring how these solutions can result in immediately interesting offerings in certain scenarios, such as those associated to roaming situations in the telecommunications industry. Teliasonera will contribute real world use case information about the application of this technology in the marketplace.
