Highlight of Current Activities (1)
Status of IdM Work in ITU-T

• IdM-GSI is a grouping of ITU-T Study Group
  Rapporteurs working on Identity Management (IdM)
  for telecommunications. i.e. Joint Rapporteur
  Group (JRG)
• Objectives
• Progress IdM technical work in the various SG
  Questions in a well-coordinated/complementary
  manner and avoid duplication and conflict
• Produce ITU-T Recommendations in a timely manner
• Similar to other ITU-T GSIs
• Organized and led by relevant SG Question
  Rapporteurs
• Some sessions are joint, others are just
  co-located sessions

Strategic Direction (2)
Increasing demand of Ubiquitous Networking over
NGN

• Connecting to Any Device/Network/Service/Where/T
  ime
• Ubiquitous into the Life USN (Ubiquitous Sensor
  Networks), U-health, U-commerce, etc

More IDs and various Identification Mechanisms
6
Challenges

• Meet increasing usage of IDs
• Currently use Identifiers only for identification
  of entity, e.g., security aspect (authentication
  and authorization)
• But need extension of usage, like triggering of
  services, identifying services and way of
  profiling end-user preferences, etc. (routing,
  profiling, positioning and etc.)
• Use method Typing, Reading or Triggering
• Standards for Global Identifiers and
  Identification Mechanisms
• Philosophy and Principles for creation, use and
  manage IDs
• Standards for reflection of Global/Regional/Nation
  al perspectives

7
Next Steps/Actions

• Need Global Working Platform for study
• Philosophy and Principles
• Framework for Technical Standard
• ITU-T will promote collaboration with relevant
  SDOs to develop technical standards reflecting
  global views
• PSO should support that ITU-T will initiate a
  study for developing Regulatory Framework for
  IDs also reflecting global views
