EU group decides on SAML for identity project

But Koulolias said in his e-mail to Network World: "The STORK view regarding Information Card has not changed. In its current version, Information Card and its real life clients do not support all STORK needs: some eID cards are not supported, the SAML protocol is not supported, all security issues are not solved, etc."

However, Koulolias said evolution of the Information Card technology could provide "interesting additions" to the STORK protocols. "For instance, the Information Card clients could be used to provide some standard extra-features that do not currently exist in any client environment."

Koulolias said regardless of the technology used to build STORK's identity project that the group will continue "open and transparent" collaboration with the industry at large in order to make STORK a success.
