Third year College project

Dear all,

I am a college student over here in England. I am doing my third year project and have chosen “The identity metasystem” as my subject area.

It all started in the summer when I did some work for Marcus Lasance at Maxware UK. I was doing a little research project into identity cards. At the time I was also tiring to work out what to do for my final year project. I then decided it would be a good idea to use my college, Suffolk College, as a case study that would form the basis of my project.

I’m just stating now, so I’m at my proposal stage. I am panning to get a new notebook with Vista on, so I can create some cards and hopefully a dummy relying party website I would also like to become an identity provider and create myself some managed cards. I shall then use the dummy site, along with some sort of Power Point, as my presentation.

I believe this will be a good project for me as it will help with other sites I will make in the further, so a bit of a learning curb then.

Please fill free to help or hinder or whatever :)

    Doinng an annotated bibliography. That the hard part. I'm not sure what books I can use. I'm goinng to look into identity management, but what else

    I need a little more research I think.

    Luke, you lucky dog you. I remember my days back in Ireland working on my fourth year project, a networked 3D editor and fighting game written for Solaris X windows (The Dungeon of Death). Happy days.

    As for your proposal I think it's an excellent idea, particularly with where we are in today's IT landscape. One thing which I think will push you over the edge into "A" territory is to enclose a prose document with your code, citing all the non-technical challenges associated with the ID meta-system. You'll find great discussion of these on Kim's blog: http://www.identityblog.com

    Good luck with the project and the remainder of your studies.
