Web Services Strategies
Beyond the technology, IT strategies for implementation of Web services by Doug Kaye.

BTP Primer. Released in June by OASIS, this is an excellent introduction to transactions in a loosely coupled SOA. Even if you don't already know what the ACID properties of a transaction are all about, you'll understand why they're inappropriate for most web services, and you'll learn the buzzwords of the Business Transaction Protocol. (31-page PDF, or HTML version.)

Phil Becker on Passport.
Last week I reported on the Federal Trade Commission's Microsoft Consent Decree (a worthwhile read in its own right). Although there has been much criticism of the decree as being no more than a "sorry, we won't do it again" slap on the wrist, Phil Becker has identified a number of interesting lessons to be learned.
- The level of concern people have about controlling their identity information has been repeatedly underestimated by many in the industry as the focus on technology.
- If you aggregate enough of it in a centralized system, the government will eventually take a role in dictating how you must secure and protect it.
- The Microsoft consent decree marks the first time that government has moved to regulate the specific implementation of a company's security surrounding identity information.
- A fascinating part of this FTC decree is the implied demand for total transparency in internal procedures when handling identity data.
