Authentication in A Collaboration Oriented Architecture
Working in a collaborative multi-sourced environment implies the need for authentication, authorization and accountability which must interoperate / exchange outside of your locus / area of control.
- People/systems must be able to manage permissions of resources and rights of users they don't control
- There must be capability of trusting an organization, which can authenticate individuals or groups, thus eliminating the need to create separate identities
- In principle, only one instance of person / system / identity may exist, but privacy necessitates the support for multiple instances, or one instance with multiple facets, often referred to s personas
- Systems must be able to pass on security credentials /assertions
- Multiple loci (areas) of control must be supported
