Full Title or Meme

Distributed Consistency in Identity Management is required when more than one process might be assigning identifiers that are required to be unique.

Context

  • Decentralized Consistency is an easier problem when each Registration Authority is given control of a portion of a name space where it can control registration.
  • With the advent of fully distributed systems where any one machine could desire the ability to create an identifier, this problem needs a practical resolution.

Solutions
