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

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
