!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a service that provides [Identity Correlation] and is a [Data aggregator]
[{$pagename}] is a generic industry term and not part of any [Standard]
!! [{$pagename}] [Single Sign-On] [2]
An [{$pagename}] is often part of a a [Single Sign-On] [Architecture] as an an intermediary service that connects multiple [Service Providers|SP] with different [Identity Provider (IDP)]s.
A [{$pagename}] or [Identity Correlation] service maps [Identity Attributes], including unique identifiers, across multiple [Identity Provider (IDP)] to the [Digital Subject].
Often a [{$pagename}] is incorporated within the [Identity Provider (IDP)] service.
As an intermediary service, the [{$pagename}] is responsible to create a [trust] relationship with [Identity Provider (IDP)]s in order to use the [Digital Identity]s to access services exposed by [Service Providers|SP].
From an user perspective, an [{$pagename}] provides an user-centric and centralized way to manage [Digital Identity]s across different [Security Domains] or realms, where an existing [Digital Identity]s can be linked with into one [Digital Subject] as a [Federated Identity] from different [Identity Provider (IDP)]s or even created based on the identity information obtained from the various [Digital Identity]s.
[{$pagename}] are usually [Security Token Service] providers that can translate [Tokens] between different identity [tokens] from one standard format to another or to the proprietary [session] [cookie] formats used by many [WAM] systems.
!! Standardized cross-app [Single Sign-On] Experience
Typically, An [Identity Provider (IDP)] is usually based on a specific [Authentication Method] and communicates [authentication] and [Authorization] information to the [SP]. The [{$pagename}] as an example, might utilize a [SPNEGO] to obtain a [Kerberos] Ticket and obtain information on the [Digital Identity] to be able to create a [SAML V2.0] [SAML Assertion] into a [SP] which uses [SAML V2.0] and transform the [SAML Assertion] into a [Access Token] for use within [OAuth 2.0] or [OpenID Connect].
Often various [Authentication Agents] would be installed on an [Identity Broker] machine allowing [Cross-platform Authentication].
Often the [{$pagename}] would:
* have multiple [Authentication Agents] allowing [Cross-platform Authentication].
* be a member of or have [Federation] into multiple [domains] to provide [Cross-domain authentication]
which would allow [Single Sign-On] ability for multiple platforms and domains.
The [Native Applications Working Group] is defining a profile of [OpenID Connect] (OIDC) that will enable a standardized cross-app [Single Sign-On] experience model for native mobile applications on both consumer-centric and enterprise applications.
!! [{$pagename}] in [Marketing] [3]
[{$pagename}] service is provided to provide [Marketing] [data] to their customers to be able to perform [Marketing] to [customers]. These [{$pagename}] [Services] build (hopefully) [De-anonymization] data sets which create [Anonymous] data on marketing.
[Acxiom Corporation], [Google], [Facebook] are a few of the many [Internet] or [Database] [Marketing] [Organizations|Organizational Entity] that provide these type of services.
!! [Privacy Considerations]
Needles to say [{$pagename}] have [Privacy Considerations]
