Abstract

The identity management domain is a huge research domain. The federated systems proved on theirs legibility to solve a several digital identity issues. However, the problem of interoperability between federations is the researcher first issue. The researchers final goal is creating a federation of federations which is a large meta-system composed of several different federation systems. The previous researchers’ technical interoperability approach solved a part of the above-mentioned issue. However, there are some-others problems in the communication process between federated systems. In this work, the researcher target the semantic interoperability as a solution to solve the exchange of attribute issue among heterogeneous federated systems, because there is a significant need of managing the users’ attributes coming from different federations. Therefore, the researcher proposed a semantic layer to enhance the previous technical approach with the aim to guarantee the exchange of attribute that has the same semantic signification but a different representation, all that based on a mapping and matching between different anthologies. This approach will be applied to the academic domain as the researcher application domain.

Highlights

  • From the beginning, the Internet has been constructed as a space of uncontrolled freedom for the individuals, where everyone is free to expose themselves, consume, tutor themselves, have a social life, etc

  • The researchers are working on the interoperability between federated systems, the researchers tackle all levels of interoperability beginning from the organizational level and ending at the technical level

  • The authors aim to carry out an interoperability architecture, which simplifies the communication process between homogeneous and heterogeneous identity management solutions

Summary

Introduction

The Internet has been constructed as a space of uncontrolled freedom for the individuals, where everyone is free to expose themselves, consume, tutor themselves, have a social life, etc. The user needs a solution with a standardized process to manage the use of the internet. Considering, a user has a freedom to use the internet; he has rules to respect. The researchers found that, from the beginning phase of system creation, the user is not considered carefully. The seven laws of identity are considered as an ultimate solution to this challenge. It still a clear conflict on how the users’ identity is treated among different identity management systems. There are several issues related to the creation and management of digital identity within identity management systems. The cross-Domain is the global concern about the migration of identity among identity management systems, especially heteregenuous federated system as the researcher voted system to work on. The federation concept provide a solution to degital identity propagation between systems with it ability to garantee the trust among federations
