A user interacts with a client containing personal identity information operable to identify the user to a relying party when the relying party is presented with claims comprising a portion of the personal identity information. The personal identity information includes one or more claims, metadata associated with the one or more claims, and backing data associated with the one or more claims. The user may initiate use of another client and seek to be identified by the relying party while interacting with the other client by first porting the personal identity information to the other client. Porting the personal identity information includes binding the personal identity information and sending the bound personal identity information to a receiving client.

A system and method for authenticating an HTTP message. A relying party may respond to a request from a requester by sending an HTTP message with authentication specifications to the requester. The requester responds with a new request that adheres to a scheme specified by the relying party. A framework allows for a security token to be located in an HTTP header or a message body, with various options such as fragmenting the token available. An option allows for cryptographically binding the security token to the body of a message. An authentication framework provides for an implementation by an HTTP stack or by an application.

A system for providing a digital identity includes a claims transformer programmed to generate a security token including a computational token and a display token, the computational token including one or more claims associated with an identity of a principal, and the display token including display information about the claims in the computational token. The display information is configured to allow the principal to view the display token.

Communication of a compressed message over a communication channel between message processors. The compressed message may be expressed in terms of an expressed or implicit template identification, and values of one or more parameters. Based on the template identification, the meaning of the one or more parameters may be understood, whereas the meaning of the parameter(s) may not be understood without a knowledge of the template. The template provides semantic context for the one or more parameters. The transmitting message processor may have compressed the message using the identified template. Alternatively or in addition, the receiving message processor may decompress the message using the identified template. The template itself need not be part of the compressed message as transmitted.

Shared Federation Metadata. A data structures may be implemented in a networked computing environment including federation. A federation includes two or more organizations coupled in a fashion such that authentication and authorization statements span the organizations in accordance with a pre-defined policy. A computer readable medium may include a data structure. The data structure includes fields including at least one or more grouping of metadata about a first federation or about an organization within the first federation. At least one of the one or more groupings of metadata about the first federation or about an organization within the first federation are included in the data structure by a reference to a block of federation metadata, the block of federation metadata is used for at least one other federation or organization.
摘要:
A federated identity verification system includes an identity provider that provides security tokens ultimately to one or more relying parties for access by the client to services at a relying party. Specifically, the relying party can validate the security token from an identity provider (whether directly or via a client) when verifying that the received security token conforms to security configuration data previously exchanged with the identity provider. To establish the trust relationship, the identity provider and one or more relying parties exchange security configuration information through an agreed-to communication channel. The security configuration information indicates the settings that the other party needs to use for establishing, maintaining, and/or monitoring the trust relationship. The communication channel allows both parties to flexibly and continually synchronize changes to security configurations, and thus maintain, change, or end the trust relationship automatically, as desired.

Well-defined messages may be transmitted from a sending device to a recipient device in order to reduce the processing and resource requirements imposed by the security semantics of general message standards. The well-defined messages may include an expression of a collective intent of the security semantics included in the message. The expression of the security semantics within the message simplifies the discovery process for devices processing the message. The well-defined message may also require that any intermediary devices that process the well-defined message as it is transmitted from the sender device to the receiver device follow the expressed collective intent of the security semantics. If an intermediary device cannot understand or adhere to the expressed intent, the well-defined message must be rejected.

摘要:
An identity system and method uses biometric representation(s) in identity tokens. When a principal requests access to a relying party, the relying party may request an identity token containing a first claim about the principal and a biometric representation of the principal. An identity provider may then create the identity token, including a digital signature. The relying party may receive the identity token through a first channel and decode it. The relying party may also receive and use biometric information about the principal received through a second channel to verify the validity of the first claim at least in part through comparison of the biometric representation to the biometric information.
