Abstract
An apparatus and method for platform and device independent identity manageability. In one embodiment, the method includes validation of a manageable identity (MID) held within trusted storage of a user platform according to a user request to move the MID to a target platform. Once the MID is validated, available resources of the target platform are verified according to resource requirements of the MID. Once verified, the MID may be moved from the user platform to trusted storage provided by the target platform. In one embodiment, a platform-independent MID may be established that may be moved from a user platform to a non-compatible target platform, such that the platform-independent MID is not constrained to just one single platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
