An efficient identity management system has become one of the fundamental requirements for ensuring safe, secure, and transparent use of identifiable information and attributes. Federated Identity Management (FIdM) allows users to distribute their identity information across security domains which increases the portability of their digital identities, and it is considered a promising approach to facilitate secure resource sharing among collaborating participants in heterogeneous IT environments. However, it also raises new architectural challenges and significant security and privacy issues that need to be mitigated. In this paper, we provide a comparison between FIdM architectures, presented the limitations and risks in FIdM system, and discuss the results and proposed solutions.

Federated Identity

Digital identity management with the metamorphosis of web services enforces new security challenges. A set of identity management systems exists to deal with these identities, alongside the goal of improving user experience and gain secure access. Nowadays, one faces a large number of heterogeneous identity management approaches. This study treated several identity management systems. The federated system makes proof of it eligibility for the identity management. Thus, the researcher interest is on the federated model. Since it consists of the distribution of digital identity between different security domains. The base of security domains is a trust agreement between the entities in communication. Federated identity management faces the problem of interoperability between heterogeneous federated systems. This study is an approach of a technical interoperability between the federations. The authors propose an approach that will permit inter-operation and exchange identity information among heterogeneous federations.

Computational Resources

As multi-tenant authorization and federated identity management systems for cloud computing matures, the provisioning of services using this paradigm allows maximum efficiency on business that requires access control. However, regarding scalability support, mainly horizontal, some characteristics of those approaches based on central authentication protocols are problematic. The objective of this work is to address these issues by providing an adapted sticky-session mechanism for a Shibboleth architecture using JASIG CAS. This alternative, compared with the recommended distributed memory approach, shown improved efficiency and less overall infrastructure complexity, as well as demanding less 58% of computational resources and improving throughput (requests per second) by 11%.
