Abstract:
Federated cloud identity management systems (IDMS) enable users to use the same identity information to access all network services and resources in the trusted domain. Federated cloud IDMS has gained significant attention from the IT industry due to its support of cross organizational boundaries without creating additional user accounts. However, using the same identity information can disclose comprehensive user profile information, such as usage pattern, interests, or the behavior of the user. In this paper, we discuss possible security concerns, especially privacy issues, and ultimately propose a way to preserve privacy in the federated cloud IDMS by use of same single user identity information.
