Liberty Alliance Web Services Framework: A Technical Overview

Tags:
security management

Overview An identity-based service is a web service associated with a particular user, i.e., a web service at which a user's calendar information can be accessed. Identity-based services require functionality beyond that necessary for basic web services not associated with a given user - particularly in the areas of identity, security, and privacy. This paper outlines how Liberty Web Services framework meets these functional requirements. Liberty ID-WSF specifications define the addressing, security & privacy plumbing - and different Liberty ID-SIS specifications define the specific syntax and semantics for sharing different slices of identity attributes. Together, ID-WSF & ID-SIS make identity data portable in a secure & privacy-respecting manner.
