Global Identification Architecture

Identification workflow made esay!

Abstract

Internet services are constantly being created. And most of the time, identification, authentification and authorisation is implemented on their side meaning those services needs to enforce their own security guidelines. Otherwise, they could have security breaches. And it has already happened.

Also, services end-users needs to have an authentification mean that is, most of the time, a password. This implies every users needs differents passwords for every services they use. Or either two-factor authentication is not widely spread.

This documents suggests a workflow based on OpenID Connect 1.0.
