The Oasis Identity In The Cloud TC aims to standardize cloud identity by formalizing use cases, analyzing gaps in existing identity management standards, and creating profiles of use cases. The TC is co-chaired by Anil Saldhana of Red Hat and has members from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and SAP. Some key use cases being examined include privileged account management, consistent user account management, virtualization security identities, and cloud provisioning for government agencies. The TC works to not duplicate existing standards and maintains strong relationships with other standards bodies.
