The Liberty Alliance recently announced availability of:
ID-WSF 2.0 (DRAFT), the Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF), Draft Release 3
We’re getting very close to completing ID-WSFv2.0. I expect the delta between this Draft Release 3 specification set and the WSFv2.0 “final” spec set to be pretty small.
If you are interested in secure, identity-enabled, SOAP-based web services frameworks, you should take a look at this spec set. Rather than being a “framework of fameworks”, this spec set is directly implementable without further profiling. Indeed, ID-WSFv1.x is implemented, tested, and available from multiple vendors.
