Abstract:

Many electronic identity solutions are currently available. Examples are governmental identity cards and federated identity management solutions. However, many proposed systems either lack scalability, flexibility or present weak privacy properties. This paper proposes a smart card based solution that realizes strong privacy features while retaining the scalability and flexibility of federated identity management implementations like Shibboleth.
