Original Kurzfassung:
We introduce the concept of an identity management machine
(based on ASM) to mitigate problems regarding identity management
in cloud computing. We decompose the client to cloud interaction
into three distinct scenarios and introduce a set of ASM rules for each
of them. We first consider a direct client to cloud interaction where the
identity information stored on the client side is mapped to the identity
created on the cloud provider?s IdM system. To enhance privacy we then
introduce the concept of real, obfuscated and partially obfuscated identities.
Finally we take advantage of the increase in standardization in
IdM systems defining the rules necessary to support authentication protocols such as OpenID. Our solution makes no supposition regarding the
technologies used by the client and the cloud provider. Through abstract
functions we allow for a distinct separation between the IdM system of
the client and that of the cloud or service provider. Since a user is only
required to authenticate once to our system, our solution represents a
client centric single sign-on mechanism for the use of cloud services.
