Abstract:
Today, as Internet has brought individuals and organisms within easy discovery and reach of each other, the role of identity has taken on great importance in social interactions, commercial transactions and governance. Interoperability as the foundation and key enabler for cross-domain Identity Management is still a complex challenge to achieve. However, efforts to build a unified framework for interoperability between Identity Management systems, that maps to different contexts such as business, government, real and virtual communities, will bring the breath solution that we all need. We investigate this issue from stakeholder’s perspectives and across many technological initiatives approaches. Moreover, we also discuss advantages and drawbacks of some Identity Management systems with respect to interoperability standards. Finally, we highlight the interoperability requirements towards a unified model and motivate the need of a mature model for Identity Management and interoperability.
