8. Authentication, Authorization, Accounting 8  Authentication – a process where is established that Pierce Brosnan is really The Pierce Brendan Brosnan  Role - a group of users with the same type of rights  Pierce Brosnan – role James Bond  James Bond group: Thomas Sean Connery, Pierce Brendan Brosnan, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton  Authorization – rights to perform certain action, usually based on the role of the person  James Bond – „licence/license to kill“  editor – has right to cut out “unnecessary” scenes from the movie  Accounting – keeping track of the actions (logs)

9. 9 Current status  Service provider centric solutions  user has to obey and adjust to the rules set up by service provider  Government issued eID  Austria  Belgium  Estonia  Liberty alliance – identity provider  consortium of private companies  federated architecture  circles of trust  EU activities: Modinis-IDM project  Results  Inflation of identities and passwords  Limited use on the international level  Potential Security risk caused by user misbehavior

10. 10 Targeted result  User centric solution  Technologically neutral  An architecture based on open standards  “Anonymous ID” – protecting privacy of user data  Standardized measure of the „strength“ of eID  e.g. username + password = “weak” - good for on-line chat  2048bit SSL + Secure token = “strong” – good for e- Banking  eID is used in the real life:  from web chats, e-Shops, e-Libraries, e-Banking to e-government communication on the international level

11. 11 Key principles of the solution  Independent authentication and authorization  To allow mixture of authentication techniques  Multiple IDs  Access rights managed and stored separately from place where access rights are executed  EAD – External Authorization Database  Management of the identity base on and stored in the information systems and not in the tokens
