#291 - Identity Bubbles with Justin Richer

In this lively episode of the Identity at the Center podcast, hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman kick things off with a humorous mishap involving Jim's tech setup before diving into the latest happenings. They discuss the sweltering summer heat, Jim's recent "Greatest Dad of All Time" award, and their upcoming plans for Identity Week in Washington, DC.

The highlight of the episode is a deep dive into the concept of "Federation Bubbles" with special guest Justin Richer, Security and Standards Architect and Founder of Bespoke Engineering. Justin explains the idea behind federation bubbles, a dynamic system designed to handle identity management in disconnected or disadvantaged environments. They explore real-world applications, such as military operations and disaster recovery scenarios, where traditional identity systems fall short.

Justin also shares updates on his recent work, including the GNAP protocol and HTTP Message Signatures, and his involvement with the IETF's new working group, WIMSE (Workload Identity in Multi-System Environments). The conversation touches on the challenges and potential of these emerging identity standards, as well as the importance of context and trust in identity management.

The episode wraps up on a lighter note with a discussion about Justin's board game project, "Natturuval" and the latest edition of "Cards Against Identity."
