2 Today s Agenda Business Problem faced by Architects today What approaches are being used? How does Liberty Alliance address the problem? Use case: Federated Identity and Web Services in action Benefits

3 Web Services, Security, & Identity Trusted 3 rd Party Identity Web services represent a whole new model for integrating applications, which means organizations will have to think in an entirely new way about security in Web services App 1 App 3 App 2 User Identity Invoker Identity Domain 1 Domain 2 Intermediary Identity SOAP XML WSDL UDDI WAP HTTP SSL/TLS XML Enc XML-DSIG WSS SAML

4 Web Services, Security, & Identity Today if companies want to offer innovative new Web services, they face several stumbling blocks: Lack of interoperability between identity management technology products Lack of technology standards and best practices regarding how companies should manage your identity, a critical component of many Web-based services Lack of a federated model for identity management that enables companies to put control of identity information into the hands of consumers and other end-users and reduce the security risks of a centralized model Lack of established industry best practices regarding how to best respect customer privacy and comply with a wide variety of privacy regulations The Liberty Alliance removes these barriers through an innovative set of frameworks that allow for secure and interoperable identity-based Web services

5 How many passwords and addresses do you have? The Problem Multiple, disconnected identities scattered across isolated Internet sites Looks like this User Name: Jason Rouault PIN: Credit card number Social security number Drivers license Passport Entertainment preferences Notification preferences Employee authorization Business calendar Dining preferences Education history Medical history Financial assets 1

6 There is a cost of maintaining all those identities Multiple, disconnected identities scattered across isolated Internet sites User acceptance Inconvenient and frustrating for users Unique to each business Distributed identityservices are difficult to develop and deploy High Maintenance Continual re-authentication to disparate systems This applies to any Enterprise managing Employees 1

7 The Liberty Project Approach Federated Identity Centralized Model Open Federated Model Network Centralized Single Links identity and user information in single repository control point of failure similar systems Network No No Links identity and user information in various locations centralized control single point of failure similar and disparate systems Central Provider Provider Provider Provider Provider Provider Provider

10 Federated Opt-in Security Permissions-based Schema/protocols Simplified Delegation Liberty Solution - A Phased Approach Support rapid acceptance and deployment Phases build on each other Enable incremental adoption Phase 1 (Released 15 July 2002) network identity account linking and simplified sign-on within an authentication domain created by business agreements built across all the features and specifications Phase 2 (Drafts Released 15 April 2003) attribute sharing for core identity profile service sign-on across authentication domains created in version 1.0 by business agreements of authority to federate identities/accounts Liberty is delivering on schedule

11 Liberty Solution - Modular Architecture The Liberty architecture is composed of modules that can be implemented independent of each other and is based on a foundation of open industry standards foundation of open Liberty Identity Federation Framework (ID-FF) Enables identity federation and management through features such as identity/account linkage, simplified sign on, and simple session management Liberty Identity Services Interface Specifications (ID-SIS) The schema, and instantiation of the technical implementation as defined by ID-WSF, to provide for interoperable identity services such as personal identity profile service, alert service, calendar service, wallet service, contacts service, geo-location service, presence service and so on. Liberty Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF) This module will provide the framework for building interoperable identity services, permission based attribute sharing, identity service description and discovery, and the associated security profiles SAML HTTP WSS WSDL XML Enc WAP XML SSL/TLS SOAP XML-DSIG
