Establishing an identity continues to be an important and sometimes ignored aspect of digital security.  Bob Blakley has worked in the field for many years and believes that an identity's primary purpose is to enable relationships.  He joins Phil and Scott to discuss his work and his ideas.

He gives an overview of how relationships are tied to identity and reviews different types of identities and how relationships are affected.  He also talks about the concept of relationship providers.
