Layered Identity Infrastructure Model for Identity Meta Systems
Suriadi, S., Foo, E. and Du, R.
There are several Identity Meta Systems emerging in
the identity management field, such as CardSpace and
Higgins Trust Framework. The goal of an Identity
Meta System (IMetS) is to integrate existing or new
Identity Management System (IMS) to provide users
with seamless interoperability and a consistent user
experience. IMetS is a complex system that tries to
integrate the already complicated IMS services. With
such a complex system, we need a way to assess IMetS
in order to determine how well an IMetS integrates
the various IMS services. However, as IMetS is a rela-
tively new concept, there is no framework to identify
the properties that an ideal IMetS should have. The
contribution of this paper is to introduce the Layered Identity Infrastructure Model (LIIM) that can
be used as a framework to assess IMetS. In addition,
the LIIM framework can also be used to identify the
missing components of an IMetS, to guide and improve the design of an existing IMetS, to serve as a
design benchmark for a new IMetS, as well as to aid
the understanding of a complicated IMetS. |
