Project: Federated Identity Management

My current project is Federated Identity Management (IBM Identity Federation project), which basically means the confirmation of a user's identity and the management of related attributes accross trust domains. This research involves the application of cryptography and formal methods to protocol standards such as the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Liberty Alliance Project and WS-Federation.
