Bridging IMS and Internet Identity

Abstract

Digital Identity has grown separately in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and the Internet in general. On the one hand secure but walled garden services are offered on the other hand the focus is on openness and third party integration. However, future Telco-business needs an inter-working of IMS and Internet. This paper discusses use cases, economical benefits and technical solutions for bridging these two worlds based on the findings presented also in an upcoming whitepaper from the Telecommunication Identity work group of the Kantara Initiative.
