Article by Dan Farber overviewing some recent developments in federated identity management. Interestingly, he does not mention Shibboleth.

> The most interesting and promising development I encountered at Digital ID World was [Ping Identity](https://www.pingidentity.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net). The 12-person company, led by CEO Andre Durand, offers [SourceID](https://www.sourceid.org/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) an open source platform for deploying federated single sign-on or enabling federated identity applications. The platform is technology neutral, providing support for SAML, Liberty Alliance, WS-Federation and WS-Security. The SourceID Federation Platform Java and .Net flavors and support the Phase I of the Liberty Alliance Protocol. The company also has a proof of concept of a WS-Federation version. \[[Federated identity, PingID and standards cartels – TechUpdate – ZDNet](https://techupdate.zdnet.com/Federated%5Fidentity%5FPingID%5Fstandards%5Fcartels.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
