It is quite common that application developers and system architects
are in need for authentication and authorization support in a
distributed environment. At least three parties need to cooperate,
namely the end host, the identity provider, and the relying party.
At the end of the exchange the identity provider asserts identity
information or certain attributes to the relying party without
exposing the user's long-term secret to the relying party.
Although the problem sounds challenging and interesting, it is not
new. In fact, various IETF groups have produced specifications to
solve this problem, such as Kerberos, RADIUS, and Diameter. Outside
the IETF various Single-Sign-On solution for HTTP-based applications
have been developed as well.
The reader might therefore wonder about the need for new work given
the existence of readily available solutions. This document tries to
answer this question in a compact fashion. Note that the description
in this document focuses on the scope of the new work as part of the
"Federated Authentication Beyond The Web" BOF being proposed rather
than what could be theoretically done.
