The Liberty Alliance Project announced on Monday a host of new products come IBM, NEC, NTT and RSA Security to improve this list of interoperable identity solutions. The new products passed Liberty's testing at a recent conformance event. These companies demonstrated their products meet the stands for the Liberty Federation.
"Liberty's Interoperable Program is about creating a global ecosystem of identity solutions that have been proven to work together in an open federated network environment," said Roger Sullivan, chair of the Liberty Alliance conformance program and vice president of business development for Oracle's Identity Management. "Since Liberty launched the program in 2003, identity products that have passed interoperability testing have been deployed extensively in a variety of industries and vertical market segments worldwide."
The events are held at various locations around the world to test products for interoperability specifications. The five-day event in Tokyo earlier this month ran the battery of tests for the respective products and all passed.
Interoperability of products is a key factor in deploying and managing successful identity systems. Organizations specifying products that have met Liberty's requirements for interoperability can count on solutions that will deploy quickly and immediately interoperate with other Liberty-enabled identity solutions. This allows organizations to deploy open federated identity systems faster, more cost-effectively and on the widest possible scale.
"Only when identity products from multiple vendors interoperate will organizations be able to realize all of the benefits of wide-scale federation," said Timo Skytta, vice president of the Liberty Alliance. "We welcome products from IBM, NEC, NTT and RSA Security to the growing list of identity solutions that are helping organizations around the world deploy more successful identity solutions."
