A New Framework for Microservices with Single Sign-On, Security Assertion Markup Language and OpenID Connect

Integrated global Single Sign-On (SSO) module is a security module for microservices which can be used to perform the basic authentication and authorization process in terms of user level and resources level. In general, micro services are the individual components which are executed separately for different purposes. In general, each individual service can communicate with external authentication mechanism to get validated in terms of identity and access check. But it is a complicated process for the services which are deployed individually because each service has to communicate with the authentication mechanism to get verified. In existing security models, the microservices are controlled through Auth 2.0 entity, Client Application and Authorization server individually. Therefore, this research study proposing an integrated framework called “BridG” identifies and connect all type of microservices with local and global network systems. The BridG framework has SSO module, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect (OlD C) to get authenticated and authorized for the individual microservices.
