Now More Than One Billion Liberty-enabled Devices and Identities
The traction is real and the returns are substantial for organizations across the globe deploying Liberty-based solutions. This section provides the detail you need to understand Liberty's influence across verticals, within organizations, through other standards activities, and what you need to know to achieve success and returns for your deployment.
Who's Using Liberty?
In an ongoing research effort, we are tracking adoption of Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services specifications. Please note that many implementers and deployers consider their work to be a strong competitive differentiator, so have requested varying degrees of anonymity – as such, some of these are listed in generic form in italics and many are not listed at all. The information provided is intended to be a sampling of the large amount of work underway globally. We welcome you to share information on your implementation or deployment with us. For easier viewing, we have divided the deployments by industry segment.
Case Studies
EBIDS NACHA Project
Ebilling is about to get a whole lot simpler. And the benefits of SAML are about to become way more prominent. NACHA, The Electronic Payments Association (formerly the National Automated Clearing House Association), has developed a pilot to demonstrate a bank-centric solution for electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP). NACHA’s pilot uses existing systems infrastructure and is very user- as well as bank-friendly. It’s called EBIDS (Electronic Billing Information Delivery Service) and, if all goes as planned, it will be introduced to the general public in the second quarter of 2008.

Webcast: Liberty Alliance Privacy Summit #1 of 3-part series
The Liberty Public Policy Expert Group (PPEG) has run Privacy Summit events world-wide, gathering privacy stakeholders from many different disciplines (IT, policy, regulation, legal, academic) for a peer-to-peer discussion of strategic issues and possible solutions. Through the Summits, some key lessons were learned, and simple models were derived which help remove many of the obstacles to a productive, multi-stakeholder discussion of privacy issues. These lessons and models were explored on this webcast, along with trends to watch for in the future.
