The standards body Liberty Alliance has announced it is to incorporate the Radicchio initiative for secure m-commence and mobile data services.

The initiative is hoped to allow ISPs and telcos to develop standard methods of authentication and sharing personal data across mobile networks.

The Radicchio alliance, which is a partnership dedicated to developing secure m-commerce and data services, has delivered Trusted Transaction Roaming platform (T2r) to the Liberty Alliance. The work is to be integrated with its own work on developing open standards to allow sharing their 'identity' without that information being stored on central servers. The Radicchio group hopes that T2r, which is built on the Liberty Alliance Federated Identity architecture, will now develop rapidly in the hands of the Liberty Alliance.

The Liberty Alliance is a grouping of some 160 companies working towards security and identity transfer accros multiple networks.
