Abstract:
Dynamic federations allow users to access new service providers on demand. This dynamic access adds risks to personally identifiable information (PII) of users, since there are untrusted service providers. The federated identity management is essential to preserve privacy of users while performing authentication and access control in dynamic federations. This paper discusses characteristics to improve privacy in the dissemination of sensitive data of users in dynamic federations, proposing privacy scopes to be agreed in dynamic associations (federation time) among service providers and identity providers. A prototype of the dynamic federation and scopes agreement was developed using OpenID Connect.
