Hi! So this is completely my notes taken from the conference, without my thoughts attached to it. I should definitely post a lot more about this, and how the community can “improve” in time. Just not today. Believe me, sitting in the talk, was highly painful, and I’m wondering where my aspirin stash might be. The slides will be available soon, and lets just consider this a learning experience. It reminded me of the time Eric Raymond came to the Fedora Project’s very first FUDCon in Boston 2005 (probably the only session without available video :P).

Who is the Dick on my site?
Dick Hardt
Most interesting keynote. About 1,000+ slides. Many slides per minute. Definitely a new way of presenting :)
- What is identity? What is Identity 2.0?
- Identity is a complicated topic, and you normally get the tip of the iceberg. Identity changes during your stages in life.
- Works at SXIP Identity.
- I wondered what the German’s thought about identity. Identat. “They’re German” <applause>
- Answers.com had the best answers for identity.
- There’s lots of different personas about a person. Women really are the masters of different personas (clothes, wife, mother, etc.). Reinventing oneself.
- Identity allows you to predict behaviour…
- When someone is in a “role” (fireman, etc.), you think you can predict behaviour. Is this identity? It’s who you are, not really, no.
- blame.ca (his website)
- Identity transactions… on where is identity used? Party identification, authorisation, profile exchange (information about a person so you know them better).
- “Do you want to present ID at a bottle shop? If no, you can rollback the transaction!” <applause>
- Photo ID is a reusable credential. This is an identity transaction.
- Reputation built up on eBay? You can’t take it over to Craigslist. Identity 1.0 is site centric, its a walled garden.
- identity20.com
- Facebook is becoming a new silo. URIs enable things to be open (LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr, etc.)
- DataPortability.org – user centric
- Kim Cameron – Laws of Identity (read it)
- Device convergence – near field communication, phones doing more than make calls, etc.
- Digital natives and immigrants. What are you? CNN == news source for natives, immigrants tend to use newspapers. I wouldn’t use CNN as an example myself, but the drift is there. Digital camera (immigrant) vs. just a “camera” (native). The younger generation are all digital natives…
- OAuth spec – take a gander at this…
- Reputation services: blogosphere (“pagerank”), open source contributions, wiki, “human” (so stop typing captchas!)
- Viagra. You’re excited to take it. You can do new things!
- myhealth.sg was mentioned. Singapore on the forefront of Identity 2.0 and OpenID? Or is it CardSpace (Microsoft) related?
- What happens when you die? Your domain can be taken by someone else. Do they then become you, if that was your OpenID? Very interesting thought.
- He flies Air Canada, and loves to talk about his Star Alliance Gold status :) Jives well with me, I’m Star Alliance Gold.

Eli White from Digg presented. It was an interesting talk… He covered:
You are going to get hacked…
– SQL injection
– XSS
– CSRF (cross site request forgery)
– Session Hijacking
Slides (PDF, ODP) have SQL injection/XSS example, with the hole, the attack, and the prevention.
