The document discusses the impact of mobile and cloud technologies on business operations, emphasizing the centrality of identity management in this transformation. It highlights the need for seamless access to cloud applications while addressing security concerns, and introduces new standards such as OpenID Connect, SCIM, SAML, and OAuth for managing identity and access. The author advocates for integrating existing technologies with these new standards to optimize workflows and enhance security in mobile environments.

1. Synergies of Cloud Identity: Putting it All
Together
By Travis Spencer, CEO

2. Agenda
• Impact of mobile and cloud on business
• Central role of identity in coping with these
changes
• Using the different identity specs together to
this end

3. Mobile is Changing Business
• 75% of mobiles in Scandinavia
are smartphones; 50% in rest of
Europe & US
• BYOD is a foregone conclusion
for most
– 90% of orgs will support corporate
apps on personal devices by 2014
• 80% of orgs will use tablets by
next year

4. Mobilizing Business Processes
• Workflows are a business’s
circulatory system
• Automation and efficiency
are critical
• Mobile helps optimizes
these processes

5. Reusing Existing Technology
• Prior technology
investments will remain on
the books for years
• Existing data/systems
must be available to mobile
users and cloud services
• IT organizations need to
bridge the old and new
technologies

6. Seamless Access to Cloud Apps
• Giving employees new passwords for each
cloud app is not secure or scalable
• 123456 is not a secure password, but cloud
providers allows it!
• Existing OTP tokens are not supported
• Seamless cloud access is required

9. Neo-security Stack
OpenID Connect
• SCIM, SAML, OAuth, and JWT are the new
standards-based cloud security stack
• OAuth 2 is the new meta-protocol defining
how tokens are handled
• These address old requirements, solves
new problems & are composed
in useful ways Grandpa SAML
& junior
• WS- again?

10. SAML + OAuth
• Relay OAuth token in SAML
messages
• Use SAML tokens to authenticate
OAuth clients or as the AS’s output
token format
• Use SAML SSO to authenticate
users to AS

11. SCIM + OAuth
• Use OAuth to secure
SCIM API calls
• Use SCIM to create
accounts needed to
access APIs secured
using OAuth

12. Push Tokens & Pull Identities

13. SCIM + SAML/OIC
• Carry SCIM attributes in SAML assertions
(bindings for SCIM)
– Enables JIT provisioning
– Supplements SCIM API & schema
• Provisioning accounts using SCIM API to
updated before/after logon

14. OpenID Connect
• Builds on OAuth for profile sharing
• Uses the flows optimized for user-consent
scenarios
• Adds identity-based inputs/outputs to core
OAuth messages
• Tokens are JWTs
Copyright (C) 2012 Twobo Technologies AB

15. User Managed Access
• Also extends OAuth 2
• Allows users to centrally
control distribution of
their identity data
• Used with Personal Data
Stores (PDS) to create
“identity data lockers”
