Introduction: Praveen Alavilli (AOL)

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for this late formal personal introduction and almost 
inactive state, which is mostly due to my work load here in AOL. I have 
been joining the weekly calls every now and then, and almost scribed a 
weekly meeting once too :-).

I have been at AOL since last 8 years working on AOL's Web 
Authentication System (called 'Screen Name Service' some might have 
known it as 'Magic Carpet') that provides Secure User Authentication and 
Single Sign On across all AOL/AIM/Netscape/AOL Intl sites. Recently 
(since last 8/9 months) I have been working along/involved with the 
Identity Gang (http://identitygang.org/) in the user-centric Identity 
space for the future web apps (mostly around SAML, OpenID and CardSpace) 
and trying to help the company in building an Identity strategy for the 
future.

My special interest in this group is mainly due to the new user-centric 
identity models that have been/are being proposed and how they put a lot 
of control in the user's hand. With the User-Agent being the most common 
user's medium to interact with various Web applications that need secure 
authentication & authorization, I strongly believe that User Interfaces 
are going to play a major role in establishing Trust relationships 
between users and Providers.

I am looking forward to participate more and contribute to the group's 
goals. I will be joining the F2F meeting in Dublin to meet people in 
person and participate more in the discussions.

regards,
Praveen
