Patrick Harding, Chief Technology Officer, Ping Identity To be successful, Modern Identity must target both mobile and web applications, must address the shift to an API Economy and must support applications deployed in both public and private clouds. As such, Harding will argue that Modern Identity requires an Identity Protocol stack that is embedded in every application: OAuth, OpenID Connect and SCIM. These protocols will lay the foundation for a cloud-scale Identity Layer. Further, for this identity infrastructure to scale we must eliminate administrative friction and ensure that connections are automated and self-service enablement for developers is the default.
