Opis

This book explores the level of understanding ofidentity management architecture along with its placein the literature and its use in industry. This bookis based on research into a case study of eightAustralian public sector agencies that had designedidentity management systems. This case studyidentified the major elements of identity managementsystems and enabled the development of an IdentityManagement Architecture (IdMA). The IdMA was designedas a series of frameworks that integrates identitymanagement into the existing policies, processes,workflows, technologies and data of an enterprise.Each framework combines one or more identitymanagement elements, along with the relevantenterprise processes and workflows, into anintegrated set of enterprise process and workflow.Now both researchers and practitioners have access toa reference architecture that illustrates how thedifferent frameworks relate to each other and to theprocesses and workflows of the enterprise. The IdMAprovides researchers and practitioners witharchitectural guidance and information for the designof identity management systems.
