DESIGNS OF IMS

Designs of IMS

 

This chapter describes exemplarily five different designs of IMS. Firstly, with the Liberty Alliance approach and Web Services such as WS-Federation two designs for federated identity management are presented. Then a case study shows the variety of components of a type 1 IMS in practice, elaborating also on tasks of the different administrator roles. Finally two research prototypes for type 3 IMS functionality are depicted which aim at supporting the user’s privacy: While the iManager focuses on usability of identity management, also in a mobile context, and is implemented on a PDA, the idemix credential system enables unlinkability for the user’s credentials by cryptographic means.

The presented examples were chosen to show a broad variety of designs on the market and in research labs, but they cannot give a comprehensive overview of all IMS designs. Further examples can be found in [ICP03].
