Abstract

Shibboleth Developments

Shibboleth 2.0 arrived in March, 2008. Since then both the Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP) have had multiple releases. This talk will look at what was added in recent releases and what will be included with future releases including the next major releases. In addition, Shibboleth's relationship to concepts like user-centric identity and technologies such as OpenID and OAuth will also be discussed.
