A Review on Single Sign on Enabling Technologies and Protocols

Abstract

In today’s digital era, users are increasingly accessing countless number of applications every day. For accessing these services, the users first have to authenticate themselves and need to maintain a separate set of username and password for each application. This led to the development of Single Sign On (SSO). This paper presents review on SSO enabling technologies and discusses SSO architectures, protocols and analysis related to growing use of SSO.
