Study on service aspects of integration of Single Sign-On (SSO) frameworks with 3GPP operator-controlled resources and mechanisms
The Single Sign-On (SSO) framework integration with 3GPP network resource and services intends to execute a comprehensive set of use cases and service requirements to serve various operator authentication configurations.
The scope of the Single Sign-On (SSO) integration study is to:
- provide service and deployment scenarios for 3GPP operators adopting an integrated approach to SSO, including web, person-to-person and M2M service scenarios;
- provide transparent identification and seamless authentication to Application Services on behalf of the user;
- support a comprehensive set of use cases of integration of different Identity and SSO frameworks (e.g OpenID) for various operator authentication configurations;
- define use cases and provide service requirements for Operators sharing controlled user credentials with Affiliated Application Service Providers;
- define use cases and service requirements associated with ensuring that the intended user is making use of the associated SSO capability (including the case when the UE has been stolen or lost);
- realize the Identity Provider role within the 3GPP network ecosystem and its influence among outside internet web service providers; and
- provide an enhanced user experience with secure, reliable access and authentication to Affiliated Application Services.
