The User-Centric Vision Matches Credentials Exchanges
Abstract
The users must face two main concerns in their digital lives, interactions and privacy, especially in identity federation architectures. Their environment and requestor client largely influence these concerns. A rich user environment issued from a user-centric vision on identity management architectures may be helpful for usability and privacy. In this paper we expose facts about the identity federation and the user digital life concepts. We then shape a user environment dedicated to identity management, and we establish some assumptions about future user environments and identity credentials implementations.
