A Federated Privacy-Enhancing Identity Management System (FPE-IMS)

Privacy and identity management should not been treated as generic problems providing generic solutions and architectures. A systematic approach is required against the problems of conducting identity management effortlessly, conveniently and smoothly solving interoperability problems that impede the communication and creation of unified infrastructures and produce an interoperable solution for identity management. This paper aims to contribute towards the proposal of a federated privacy-enhancing identity management system providing all the main tools and services in order address the major privacy requirements, required for the achievement of privacy aware e/m-transactions. This system can be embedded to each reconfigurable framework, enhancing privacy issues on existing web services based platforms, which delivers privacy-aware e/m-organizational services.
