Initially created by the information technology industry, the identity management IdM concept has been increasingly recognized as a foundation for key new services by telecommunication network operators. Indeed, since telecom operators “own” wireless and wireline access, they also “own” a great deal of information about their subscribers. Based on those assets, telecom operators are in a unique position to offer a range of identitybased services—from home networking to straightforward authentication services for enterprise, to a complex blend of services, including financial and medical transactions. Conversely, by federating data from multiple application providers, coupled with single signon SSO, telecom operators can offer unique mashup services. The technology underpinning the development of such services is centered on security i.e., the interworking of a range of authentication, key exchange, and encryption mechanisms, along with appropriate policies. This paper addresses the trends in certain novel mechanisms—published here for the first time—to fill in the present technology gaps. These trends are also active topics in standards bodies. © 2010 AlcatelLucent. |
