The famous talk is now on Web for those of us who missed it:
- Ian Glazer: Killing IAM in Order to Save It
"I gave this talk a few months ago. I had just finished writing our 2013 Identity and Privacy Planning Guide and was trying to think of a different way to express what I had written. What I came up with was this very, very different way to express what I had written. I'd love your feedback. Also, no commas were harmed in the filming of this presentation."
There were many other items of interest to the identity community:

The eID network conference focuses on eID in relation to online services toward persons, businesses and governments. We believe eID and related concepts are crucial for advancing e-business transactions, therefore we refer to this as 'transactional eID'." - Dan Whaley: I Annotate: A Workshop
"After two decades of progress in infrastructure and web technologies, we believe the time is finally at hand to realize the widespread annotation of human knowledge. On a recent call a suggestion was made to bring together people building annotation solutions with those that ultimately will use them. The obvious sensibility of that idea led a number of us to approach the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for funding for a workshop, which they approved several weeks ago. We're calling it I Annotate, and it will be April 10-12, here in San Francisco, at the Fort Mason Center." - Internet Identity Workshop XVI #16 - 2013

- Nishant Kaushik: The Dilemma of the OAuth Token Collector
"But what is far more interesting to consider are the ramifications this hack and Twitters response measures have had (or not had, depending on who you talk to) on the ecosystem that integrates with Twitter via it's OAuth implementation. This article brought up the fact that 3rd party apps authorized to interact with Twitter are still able to tweet despite the passwords being reset. In other words, the resetting of the password had no impact on whether they still had access to the account. Why is this important?" - Francois Lascelle: Enabling token distributors
"In his post The dilemma of the oauth token collector, and in this twitter conversation, Nishant and friends comment on the recent twitter hack and discuss the pros and cons of instantly revoking all access tokens when a password is compromised. I hear the word of caution around automatically revoking all tokens at the first sign of a credential being compromised, but in a mobile world where UX is sacred and where each tapping of password can be a painful process, partial token revocation shouldn't automatically be ruled out."
Cloud Computing
- Matt Jones: My problem with the "Internet Of Things"
"Spimes and the Internet Of Things get used interchangeably in discussion these days, but I think it's worth making a distinction between things and spimes. That distinction is of course best put by the coiner of the term, Bruce Sterling - in his book which is the cause of so much of this ruckus, "Shaping Things"." - Robert Lemos: Single Sign-On Increasingly Connected In The Cloud
"Behind the scenes, identity and access solution providers continue a broad effort to integrate to cloud services -- the biggest hurdle to SSO adoption"
