I recently met Rakesh Radhakrishnan, a Senior Client Solutions Architect for Sun Microsystems' Telecommunications vertical. He directed me to his blog, Identity Centric Architecture, where he has posted links to a series of nine papers he co-authored from March 2004 through May 2006 on the topic of Identity Enabled Networks. These papers focus on one central theme - that leveraging Identity Services as reusable/replaceable Architectural Building Blocks is essential to enabling Service Oriented Architectures in a broad array of communications industry applications. Good stuff!
