Identity Management in Federated Telecommunications Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Future telecommunications systems will introduce a multitude of partly small network and/or service providers. For those providers to interwork, a coordinated organizational cooperation and standardization of the technology are crucial. One important aspect of standardization is about handling user identities. In the Daidalos architecture, users and user groups are considered equally. As there will be a multitude of identities per user, identity management is of utmost importance in modern telecommunications systems. Standardization in this area should comprise formats of user attributes of an identity representation, identity information exchange protocols and security standards for handling identity data.

متن کاملNegotiating Trust in Identity Metasystem
Many federated identity management systems have been proposed to solve the problem of authorizing users across security domains. Although these solutions attempt to follow the user-centric design approach to empower users by letting them make important decisions on whether to release sensitive information, they do not provide much help to users in making good decisions. More importantly, privac...
متن کاملAchieving Privacy in a Federated Identity Management System
Federated identity management allows a user to efficiently authenticate and use identity information from data distributed across multiple domains. The sharing of data across domains blurs security boundaries and potentially creates privacy risks. We examine privacy risks and fundamental privacy protections of federated identity-management systems. The protections include minimal disclosure and...
