Abstract-Federated Identity Management Systems (IMS) is apromising system where an increasing number of e-services will be made available in the future for users' convenience. However in this environment, users are required to manage several identities (ID cards) and a great number of personal data. As such, simplification of users' involvement is highly needed while increasing the users' confidence, and guaranteeing security. This paper proposes a low-cost authentication solution which leads to a reduction of users' identities, even across several circles of trust, while maintaining high-level security. Also it proposes a privacy preserving technique to automatically control that privacy preferences of the users are satisfied during electronic transactions. This leads to defining new entities in the federated IMS, an innovative privacy policy language XPACML, and a practical-oriented privacy policy comparison middleware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
