  1. Technical Track Session E-Authentication Overview & Technical Approach Scott Lowery

  2. E-Authentication – Technical Approach Agenda • E-Authentication Overview • Policy Framework • Technical Approach • Interoperability Lab

  3. Policy Infrastructure: 2. Establish standard methodology for e-Authentication risk assessment (ERA) 1. Establish e-Authentication risk and assurance levels for Governmentwide use (OMB M-04-04 Federal Policy Notice 12/16/03) 3. Establish technical assurance standards for e-credentials and credential providers (NIST Special Pub 800-63 Authentication Technical Guidance) 4. Establish methodology for evaluating credentials/providers on assurance criteria (Credential Assessment Framework) 6. Establish common business rules for use of trusted 3rd-party credentials 5. Establish trust list of trusted credential providers for govt-wide (and private sector) use

  4. OMB 04-04

  5. NIST SP 800-63

  6. E-Authentication – Technical Approach • Agenda • E-Authentication Overview • Technical Approach • Assertion Based Authentication • Certificate Based Authentication • Interoperability Lab

  7. E-Authentication – Technical Approach • Agenda • E-Authentication Overview • Technical Approach • Assertion Based Authentication • Overview • Management • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)as an Adopted Scheme • Certificate Based Authentication • Interoperability Lab

  8. AAs CSs Base Case

  9. Starting at the AA

  10. Step #3: After Selecting their AA the user is redirected back to the CS as usual CSP ID Startingat the CS

  11. Step #2: The user is Redirected to the portal With the CS and AA IDs Step #3: The user is cookied and redirected to the CS SpecializedPortals
