Collaboration Oriented Architecture ( COA ) is a computer system that is designed to collaborate , or use services, from systems that are outside of the operators control. Collaboration Oriented Architecture will often use Service Oriented Architecture to deliver the technical framework.
9-585: Collaboration Oriented Architecture is the ability to collaborate between systems that are based on the Jericho Forum principles or "Commandments". Bill Gates and Craig Mundie (Microsoft) clearly articulated the need for people to work outside of their organizations in a secure and collaborative manner in their opening keynote to the RSA Security Conference in February 2007. Successful implementation of
18-417: A Collaboration Oriented Architecture are as follows; Working in a collaborative multi-sourced environment implies the need for authentication, authorization and accountability which must interoperate / exchange outside of your locus / area of control. Jericho Forum The Jericho Forum was an international group working to define and promote de-perimeterisation . It was initiated by David Lacey from
27-470: A Collaboration Oriented Architecture implies the ability to successfully inter-work securely over the Internet and will typically mean the resolution of the problems that come with de-perimeterisation . The term Collaboration Oriented Architectures was defined and developed in a meeting of the Jericho Forum at a meeting held at HSBC on 6 July 2007. The key elements that qualify a security architecture as
36-738: The Forum then moved onto focussing on defining the solution, which it delivered in the publication of the Collaboration Oriented Architecture (COA) paper and COA Framework paper. The next focus of the Jericho Forum was "Securely Collaborating in Clouds", which involves applying the COA concepts to the emerging Cloud Computing paradigm. The basic premise is that a collaborative approach is essential to gain most value from "the cloud". Much of this work
45-530: The Royal Mail, and grew out of a loose affiliation of interested corporate CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers), discussing the topic from the summer of 2003, after an initial meeting hosted by Cisco , but was officially founded in January 2004. It declared success, and merged with The Open Group industry consortium's Security Forum in 2014. It was created because the founding members claimed that no one else
54-683: The Security forum within The Open Group to continue, while the work on Identity has been continued by the Global Identity Foundation . The Jericho Forum declared success and sunsetted at the London conference of the OpenGroup on 29 October 2013 ( video ). The Jericho Forum work on identity has been carried on by the Global Identity Foundation , a not-for-profit organisation working to define
63-580: Was appropriately discussing the problems surrounding de-perimeterisation. They felt the need to create a forum to define and solve consistently such issues. One of the earlier outputs of the group is a position paper entitled the Jericho Forum Commandments which are a set of principles that describe how best to survive in a de-perimeterised world. The Jericho Forum consisted of "user members" and "vendor members". Originally, only user members were allowed to stand for election. In December 2008 this
72-518: Was relaxed, allowing either vendor or user members to be eligible for election. The day-to-day management was provided by the Open Group . While the Jericho Forum had its foundations in the UK, nearly all the initial members worked for corporates and had global responsibilities, and involvement grew to Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. After the initial focus on defining the problem, de-perimeterisation ,
81-472: Was transferred to the Cloud Security Alliance for use in its "guidance" document . The final (major) piece of the Jericho Forum's work (from 2009) was around Identity, culminating in 2011 with the publication of their Identity, Entitlement & Access Management Commandments. In its final months the Jericho Forum contributed thinking to the debate around "Smart Data" and this was handed over to
