In this age of digital, a critical design point is the architecture of systems (socio-economic, technological, political). If everything can become digital (can be represented as a number) then the relation of that thing to other things becomes very abstract. We begin to think in terms of classes and instances, and how they could interact with other classes. And we risk losing track of the fact that we're thinking abstractly about things that affect real people in this real world. This blog is about the architecture of systems. And how architecture affects the real world.

Towards Federated Identity Management

New distributed computing models such as those proposed by web services create a fresh set of challenges which in turn have given rise to a requirement to establish stronger and more granular methods of electronic identification.

To meet these new challenges, emerging technologies such as 'Digital Identity' are now being recognized as a key ingredient in the re-architecting of systems to accommodate the secure adoption of more distributed and transparent computing models.
