User centric identity
It's great to see the increased focus on user-centrism at the annual Burton Group Catalyst conference. President Jamie Lewis remarked in his opening keynote that there's a lot of hype around it being a solution for privacy and identity theft and that there's diverging opinions as to how we'll achieve an identity metasystem -- whether it's Microsoft , Higgins , or DIX .
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is about to rule whether health care entities will need to notify patients if their de-identified data — patient data that has been stripped of all potential for identifying individuals, which is often used for research and development — is breached. As it stands now, de-identified data is not subject to the new breach-notification rules imposed by the HITECH privacy provisions of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus package.

Main Page - Yadis
The Yadis discovery protocol was spearheaded by Brad Fitzpatrick, David Recordon (then both at Six Apart) and Johannes Ernst and Joaquin Miller (then both at NetMesh), in order to create an extensible foundation for user-centric, decentralized, web identity. Over a period of several months, with the involvement of several dozen other individuals, the Yadis 1.0 specification was created and widely implemented on the web. This page collects some important Yadis information that was moved over from yadis.org:I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing, athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
