Personal federation control with the identity dashboard

Abstract

Current federated identity management solutions for open networks do not solve the scalability problems for users. In some cases, federation might even increase the identity management complexity that users need to handle. Solutions should empower users to actively participate in making decisions about their identity, but this is far from the current situation. This paper proposes the Identity Dashboard as a user-centric control component, providing users with tools they need to effectively partake in managing their own identities. © 2010 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
