TECHNOLOGY OF FEDERATED IDENTITY AND SECURE LOGGINGS IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Federated services are becoming widely implemented at many sites in multiple domain networks for cloud computing across many industry segments. New technology is required not only for federated authentication, but also for services operating distributed attributes, which are both static and dynamic. In addition to the technology, the sites that provide services across multiple domain networks are required to store every log as audit trails. This paper focuses on SAML and ID-WSF, which are the technology and the architecture for identity management and secure web services, discusses deployments and problems in the real world, then proposes a fast and safe technology that extends the ID-WSF for services and logs. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technology and architecture, the latencies of SAML SSO that exchange SOAP messages are measured and considered in a cloud computing environment.
