Dynamic Federation in Federated Identity Management

Abstract

Federated Identity Management (FIM) is a way to connect the identity management systems together. In recent years many organizations have started opting FIM single-sign-on to focus on the business rather than storing the user credentials in their own database, which also offers economic advantage to the organization, as well as convenience for the users. However, the current FIM frameworks are dynamic in nature for authentication and authorization, but they are not dynamic in nature to get federated between the Service Provider (SP) and Identity Provider (IdP). In this paper, we mention the current issues and introduce broker model and fuzzy cognitive map model (FCM) that will achieve dynamic federation between the entities based on individuals trust features requirement.
