An XML-based automated authentication profile for home network based on OSGi (open service gateway initiative) framework

This paper proposes a single sign-on scheme in which a user offers his credential information to a home network working with the OSGi (open service gateway initiative) service platform for obtaining user authentication and controlling a remote device through a mobile device using this authentication scheme, based on SAML (security assertion markup language). Especially by defining the single sign-on profile, we provide a clue to applying automated user authentication to control a remote device for distributed mobile environments such as a home network based on OSGi.
