There has been discussion of digital identity recently, with EDUCAUSE giving an award to 'Digital Identity Federations' and various projects being undertaken to provide signons to university systems. And I guess my main question - and which needs to be addressed - what makes universities think they will be the granters of identity? How long before people sign on with either a government identioty or a corporate (eg. Google or Facebook) identity? Identity federations won't make much sense in such a scenario.
