A Trusted Computing Solution for Security Threats in Federated Identity Management
Abstract
Federated Identity Management (FIM) is a collaboration of different federations coming together for
the purpose of sharing each other’s resources and providing a Single Sign-On facility to the end user. Despite
the profitability there are certain issues, vulnerabilities and security aspects that hinder the widespread
acceptance of the FIM. These security issues include Snooping, Modification, Masquerading, Replay Attacks,
Denial of Service, Escalation of Privileges, Brute Force and Phishing. We have also explored Trusted Computing
Technologies-Trusted Platform Module and Trusted Network Connect. Based on our analysis we provide a
Trusted Computing framework which can be used to mitigate all the obstacles for the better functioning and
acceptance of FIM.
