Cyber Notes Cast - Concepts of Federated Identity Management

Federated identity management enables authorized users to access multiple platforms using a single set of credentials. In the past, each website or application required a set of credentials. This meant every time you wanted to access a service, you had to create a username and password, which were stored on that platform. Thus, when accessing the website again, it was necessary to re-enter the credentials because the users did not remain connected, even if the websites were managed by the same organization. Also, when companies wanted to transfer user credentials from one domain to another, they had to use a new authentication system. As the internet became more complex, developers realized this authentication system was not scalable and federated identity management would be the best solution in this regard.
