  1. What is the Liberty Alliance ? • A business alliance, formed in Sept 2001, with the goal of establishing an open standard for federated identity management • Global membership consists of consumer- facing companies and technology vendors as well as policy and government organizations tutorial_draft.pdf

  2. Goals : – Provide open standard and business guidelines for federated identity management spanning all network devices – Provide open and secure standard for SSO with decentralized authentication and open authorization – Allow consumers/ businesses to maintain personal information more securely, and on their terms tutorial_draft.pdf

  3. Open Interaction and Participation tutorial_draft.pdf

  4. ID-FF Concepts • Simplified Sign-On (aka Single Sign-On)Allows a user to sign-on once at a Liberty enabled site and to be seamlessly signed-on when navigating to another Liberty-enabled site without the need to authenticate again. • Single Logout provides synchronized session logout functionality across all sessions that were authenticated by a particular identity provider. tutorial_draft.pdf

  5. Key Concepts • Network Identity is the fusion of network security and authentication, user provisioning and customer management, single sign-on technologies and Web-services delivery. • Federated identity architecture delivers the benefit of simplified sign-on to users by granting rapid access to resources to which they have permission but does not require the user’s personal information to be stored centrally. tutorial_draft.pdf

  6. Federated Identity Lifecycle tutorial_draft.pdf

  7. Single Sign-on and Federation tutorial_draft.pdf

  8. IdP-initiated Single Logout tutorial_draft.pdf

  9. ID-WSF Concepts • Discovery Service enables various entities (e. g. Service Providers) to dynamically discover a Principle’s registered identity services. • Interaction Service protocols provide an identity service the means to obtain permission from a users. • Attribute Provider hosts a data service – such as ID-Personal Profile. tutorial_draft.pdf

  10. The Complete Liberty Architecture

  11. Interaction tutorial_draft.pdf

  12. Business Guidelines • Federated Identity cannot be successful based on technology alone. Also required are: • IT staff to manage and implement a set of specifications that cross several domains of expertise • A clean directory • Pre-existing agreements with others in a circle of trust • Detail major issues for federated identity interchange and trust relationships • Examine risk and liability in identity interchange • Identify success criteria for global and cross- company federation tutorial_draft.pdf

  13. Business Guidelines

  14. IBM/France Telecom Deployment • Create a single-sign-on network for France Telecom's 50 million cellular phone users • Subscribers can sign-on via mobile telephone or personal computer • Makes single-sign-on systems even more important, since logging into a network with a phone is much slower than using a PC's keyboard. • Applications that France Telecom hopes that it or its partners will supply include instant messaging, location-based services, games, online banking and e-mail

  15. AOL/D-Link Deployment • AOL Broadband subscribers use D-Link's wireless media player to play music from the Radio@AOL service on home stereos. • The media player uses the Liberty protocols to access Radio@AOL on behalf of a user • No need to login to AOL to use media player • AOL demonstrated the same service running over a Nokia handset at the 3GSM Conference this February

  16. Japan’s EduMart Deployment • Part of the e-Japan Policy Priority Program • Spearheaded by the Strategic Headquarters for the Promotion of an Advanced Information and Telecommunications Network Society • Brings rich educational content to students at more than 40,000 schools • Established an open interface • Built an educational content distribution network that will lead to a system in which both public institutions and private businesses can connect to interfaces and freely participate.

  17. County Land Document Recording Exchange • Deployment across Government and Industry Streamlines the land recordation process (thousands of counties and innumerable lenders/title companies each with separate systems and identities) • Establishes a strong foundation for an industry “Circle of Trust”
