CA joins the Liberty Alliance

A whole story with no mention of investigation or litigation...

Computer Associates has become the latest company to join the Liberty Alliance, following similar announcements from Intel and Oracle yesterday.

For many, joining the Liberty Alliance has become something of a political stick with which to beat Microsoft. The authentication standard was set up by Sun Microsystems in direct opposition to Microsoft's Passport

However, for CA the decision owes far more to covering all bases.

Simon Perry, vice president, security strategy at CA said: "There's a fairly simple reason for CA joining Liberty Alliance - that being that CA will support all authentication schemes that are proposed. It's important for our clients that we remain neutral and cover all alternatives."

The Liberty Alliance means that a user who signs on to one Liberty-enabled site, such as a company server or a website, will be recognised at another Liberty site without having to log in.
