| Session Title: |
A RESTful Approach to Identity-based Web Services |
| Session Abstract: |
This session's speakers are introducing a new RESTful approach that enables identity-based Web services. This work is an adaptation of the ID-WSF specification, defined by the Liberty Alliance, to a RESTful environment. It provides a framework that will support the next generation of personalized Web 2.0 services. The benefits of such a framework are to allow for the mashup of Web services related to a user's identity while being both secure and privacy-aware. The framework is based on the essential notion of discovering Web services that are relevant to a particular user. It covers the complete lifecycle of services such as their registration at an online component called a discovery service or the discovery of those services based on the identity of a user. Beyond the framework itself, this project offers a software development kit (SDK) for developers, both on the consumer side and the provider side, allowing for easy development and rapid adoption. The SDKs are written in the Java™ programming language and exploit the latest features offered by Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) and Jersey. The project also involves a reference implementation of a discovery service. |
