Best-practice security solutions that scale to meet today’s huge numbers of users.
With millions of transactions occurring online almost every day, business today really occurs without boundaries. Customers, business partners, vendors and other constituents all need to access your network—or your cloud—to make purchases, find information or use applications. While these new categories of users are essential for maintaining a competitive edge, your organization also needs to carefully monitor them and grant appropriate, safe access to protected resources. And there are thousands—in many cases, millions—of them.
Their interest and involvement can be good for business. But how do you manage such a number? Manual procedures for identity management—everything from granting access to assets to managing user accounts—are a classic example of processes that simply don’t scale. They can work when the number of users is small. But manual procedures can become a significant burden when numbers reach into the thousands—and impossible when the numbers stretch to millions. Just think about resetting passwords. How could you maintain a help desk big enough for a world full of customers?
As organizations transform business by opening their systems to large numbers of internal and external online users, many of whom are mobile, they are increasingly adopting automated solutions that secure sensitive data, support end-user self service and help resolve problems. For today’s instrumented, interconnected and intelligent IT operations, best practices for identity management can help ensure secure, optimized and regulatory compliant operations.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Introduction
With millions of transactions occurring online almost every day,
business today really occurs without boundaries. Customers,
business partners, vendors and other constituents all need to
access your network—or your cloud—to make purchases, find
information or use applications. While these new categories of
users are essential for maintaining a competitive edge, your
organization also needs to carefully monitor them and grant
appropriate, safe access to protected resources. And there are
thousands—in many cases, millions—of them.
Their interest and involvement can be good for business. But
how do you manage such a number? Manual procedures for
identity management—everything from granting access to assets
to managing user accounts—are a classic example of processes
that simply don’t scale. They can work when the number of
users is small. But manual procedures can become a significant
burden when numbers reach into the thousands—and impossible
when the numbers stretch to millions. Just think about resetting
passwords. How could you maintain a help desk big enough for
a world full of customers?
As organizations transform business by opening their systems to
large numbers of internal and external online users, many of
whom are mobile, they are increasingly adopting automated
solutions that secure sensitive data, support end-user self service
and help resolve problems. For today’s instrumented, intercon-
nected and intelligent IT operations, best practices for identity
management can help ensure secure, optimized and regulatory-
compliant operations.
3. IBM Software 3
Effective management based on self
service and access control
Today’s need for effective identity management is the result of an
explosive growth in connectivity. An insurance company, for
example, that until recently managed access for a few thousand
employees now needs to manage millions of customers and part-
ners conducting online transactions through a sales portal. A
government agency previously managing access only for its
employees now needs to manage access for millions of citizens
and a wide range of other agencies accessing information online.
Organizations in areas such as healthcare, finance and other cus-
tomer services industries rely heavily on interaction and data
exchange between large numbers of partners and consumers.
The result has been a sudden and unprecedented increase in the
scale and requirements of online business operations—and an
increased demand on organizations’ identity management
systems. Organizations now need systems that can give employ-
ees, business partners and external end users the self-service
capabilities they need to quickly enroll for new services and
resolve individual problems—including the ever-present issue
of password resets—without having to contact the help desk.
At the same time, organizations need systems that give
administrators—whether IT operators, line-of-business manag-
ers or human resources professionals—control over permissions
and other user-access functions.
IBM offers industry-leading solutions based on the principles of
the IBM Security Framework to meet scalable identity and
access management needs. These solutions deliver user
administration and management, resource protection, and audit-
reporting capabilities to help reduce the risks of security
breaches and non-compliance.
For example, IBM® Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager
provides capabilities such as business-to-consumer self-service
enrollment and federated single sign-on (SSO) support that
organizations can supply to their external constituents.
IBM Security Identity Manager is an automated, policy-based
solution that manages the lifecycle of user access across IT
environments within the organization. IBM Tivoli Security
Policy Manager allows organizations to centralize fine-grained
security policy management to enforce access control across
applications, databases, portals and business services.
Security and compliance across the full
user lifecycle
An effective identity management solution meets a full range of
online business needs—from pressures to stay competitive by
providing greater access to more information and services, to
requirements to demonstrate compliance by controlling and
monitoring all user activities and their associated access privi-
leges. The solution should include tools for restricting user
access to only those IT resources appropriate to their role and/
or job function, centralized user self service, simplified adminis-
tration and approvals processing, periodic revalidation of user
access rights, and documentation of policy controls. Add to all
that the need to manage the rising costs of account provisioning
and deprovisioning, recertification of access rights, help-desk
calls, password resets and other administrative tasks.
As organizations grant access to different types of users, includ-
ing employees, customers, business partners and suppliers, they
need best-practice solutions that can support the full lifecycle of
user identity, from the efficient onboarding of new users to their
final off-boarding and the elimination of unidentified or
“orphan” accounts.
4. 4 When millions need access: Identity management in an interconnected world
Externally, they need a secure, easy-to-use solution that makes
minimal demands on the organization’s IT staff to administer.
Internally, they need to create user accounts in ways that allow
new hires or employees with new roles to be productive as soon
as possible. To avoid potential security exposures, they need to
retire accounts and associated access privileges quickly for
employees who leave the company. Additionally, internal users
need secure access to externally hosted applications, including
cloud-based applications and business partner applications.
Cloud environments usually support a large and diverse commu-
nity of users, so managing identities across multiple cloud ser-
vices is especially critical. Identity federation and capabilities for
rapid onboarding must be available to coordinate authentication
and authorization with the enterprise’s back-end or third-party
systems. A standards-based, SSO capability is required to sim-
plify end-user logins for both internally hosted applications and
the cloud, allowing end users to easily and quickly leverage cloud
services.
When it comes to compliance, organizations need enterprise-
wide capabilities to ensure that both internal and external access
are governed by effective authentication, to monitor authoriza-
tion and network traffic, and to support the system with
comprehensive audit and reporting capabilities.
Regardless of the type of user, the solution should enhance
security by helping to fill gaps in security measures. It should
mitigate the risk of issues such as fraud, theft of intellectual
property or loss of customer data. It should help reduce costs
by streamlining business and IT processes that grant users
access to resources.
Paths to success in the identity and
access management environment
Each organization has to determine the details of ensuring effec-
tive identity management, because each organization has its own
needs, goals and set of users. Leading use cases for identity and
access management, however, typically fall into three categories:
●● Portal-based access for large populations of users
●● User access to cloud-based services
●● Business partner access and application integration
In each case, organizations are transforming the way they pro-
vide user access. To achieve this transformation, they typically
provide self-service functions as they help ensure secure opera-
tions and support regulatory compliance.
For these scenarios—which are rapidly increasing in number and
complexity as banking, retail and public sector organizations
increase the value-added services in their online operations—the
organization not only must address issues of security, scalability
and usability, it must also manage back-end tasks for application
integration. Organizations deploying service-oriented architec-
ture (SOA) solutions need an effective policy-based approach
that incorporates security management and services that can be
integrated with existing SOA components.
5. 5IBM Software
Use case 1: Portal-based access for large
populations of users
A large state health information exchange portal needs to pro-
vide 3 million consumers and several hundred payers and associ-
ated providers with access to clinical and administrative data.
It also must enable secure collaboration among healthcare orga-
nizations, facilities operators and insurance companies. It needs
a solution that can centrally manage user authentication to
ensure that patient records remain private as it securely expands
access to consumers, payers and providers. By ensuring identity
management and enforced access control, the solution must sup-
port compliance with Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) security regulations and updated
healthcare information exchange (HIE) requirements.
How Security Identity Manager helps
Through the use of roles, accounts and access permissions,
Security Identity Manager helps automate the creation, modifi-
cation and termination of user privileges throughout the entire
user lifecycle. For internal enterprise users and for trusted part-
ners or suppliers who need access to internal company resources,
Security Identity Manager enables the organization to grant
permission to access information and applications and then to
control access as the user’s role and responsibilities change.
Users are granted self-service capabilities in areas such as pass-
word reset, but the detailed workflow and processes for defining
access rights based on role/job requirements and for avoiding
access conflicts of interest make Security Identity Manager the
most appropriate choice for effective internal identity
management.
How Tivoli Federated Identity Manager helps
For business-to-business and business-to-consumer scenarios, in
which organizations extend access to large numbers of external
users, Tivoli Federated Identity Manager provides self-service
enrollment capabilities, as well as federated SSO and centralized
authentication support to enforce access control. It also validates
users and eliminates the need to provide multiple IDs and pass-
words, reducing the workload for IT administrators. Using
federated SSO and user access management techniques to help
integrate this information can provide quick benefits and
savings.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager can expand collaboration
with business partners who need limited access to internal
resources by providing entry-level federation capabilities and
by scaling to larger numbers of applications and users when nec-
essary. The result: lower identity management costs, improved
compliance and reporting, and simplified integration of services
including centralized user access to software as a service.
Use case 2: User access to cloud-based
services
A global financial services company with 120,000 employees,
3 million external users and operations in 50 countries imple-
ments a cloud computing architecture to standardize its IT
infrastructure and services. In the process, the company
consolidates several data centers into a few next-generation data
centers. The hybrid cloud solution that results provides the
company with an automated, virtualized infrastructure on a sin-
gle platform with different severs, self-service request-driven
provisioning from a service catalog, and secure access to services
based on roles and business needs.
6. 6 When millions need access: Identity management in an interconnected world
To achieve security management in its new cloud-based data
centers, the organization implements Tivoli Federated Identity
Manager, securing collaboration with business partners and
providing SSO for external users into the hybrid cloud
environment.
Similarly, an organization with 2,000 software engineers spread
across 25 teams implements a developer cloud environment to
give teams access to services whenever and wherever they need
it. Users log in to request capabilities—including operating
systems, memory, disk space, middleware and more—and gain
access in minutes.
To achieve secure and dynamic access for users and to eliminate
lag times in delivering that access, the organization implements
Security Identity Manager. Password resets that used to take
hours or days to complete now take only minutes—because users
can log into a self-service portal and reset their passwords them-
selves. As new members join the team, they can gain rapid access
to services, and as members depart, IT staff can remove their
access rights to all systems with one command, rather than log-
ging into dozens of different systems.
How Security Identity Manager helps
Giving internal users access to a cloud-based application is
essentially the same as providing access to other applications.
Security Identity Manager provides identity management capa-
bilities that enable the organization to provide internal users,
including privileged users, with self service and access rights to
cloud-based services.

7. 7IBM Software
How Tivoli Federated Identity Manager helps
Using cloud-based computing to provide online applications
and data to a large group of users—everyone from employees in
other parts of the organization to customers and business part-
ners—requires particular attention to security. The larger the
group, the more difficult it is to manage user identity. With
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, however, the organization
can centrally manage and enforce access policies to on- and off-
premises applications and services (including integrating with
software-as-a-service and cloud-based solutions) and reduce IT
administration costs while helping enterprises strengthen and
automate user access rights.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager’s SSO capabilities enable the
user to go directly to cloud-based applications and information
without having to manage identities within the cloud. The user’s
identity is federated into the cloud transparently to the user. In
a typical scenario, authentication of the user takes place outside
the cloud and involves IBM Security Access Manager for Web,
included within Tivoli Federated Identity Manager. Security
Access Manager for Web, also available as a standalone offering,
combines user access and web application protection into a
highly scalable user authentication, authorization and web SSO
solution. The Tivoli Federated Identity Manager package also
includes IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business
Gateway, which provides standalone capabilities to support fed-
erated SSO and integration into cloud and software-as-a-service
offerings.
Use case 3: Business partner access and
application integration
An insurance company is migrating its legacy, host-based appli-
cation to a new portal-based solution and needs to provide ser-
vice providers, mobile agents and clients with information on
their policies and contracts. The organization also requires
fine-grained, authorized access to insurance policies and con-
tracts based on roles and additional attributes. Concern for
compliance and data security issues lead the company to deploy
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager and Tivoli Security Policy
Manager to enable easy and secure SSO capabilities for both
internal and external users, ensure an auditable record across
the enterprise, and enforce data-level access control on a
need-to-know basis.
Single sign-on can simplify user access to multiple applications and sources
of data.

8. 8 When millions need access: Identity management in an interconnected world
How Tivoli Federated Identity Manager helps
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager simplifies application integra-
tion for identity management via an identity mediation service.
Instead of requiring tiers of access for reaching the application,
the solution validates, transforms and authenticates users one
time to provide application access, whether it is to legacy main-
frame-, Java- or Microsoft .NET-based applications. For enter-
prise users and business partners who require special access to
secure information, this use of identity management provides
a record as identities are mapped to access for audit and compli-
ance use.
How Tivoli Security Policy Manager helps
Tivoli Security Policy Manager provides organizations the abil-
ity to manage and enforce fine-grained entitlement and data-
level access control on a need-to-know basis. In the case of
the insurance company, Tivoli Security Policy Manager allows
mobile employees access to client contracts based on roles and
on additional business attributes and context critical to ensuring
privacy and data security.
IBM self-service solutions for internal and
external users
Security Identity Manager and Tivoli Federated Identity
Manager provide self-service functions for streamlined manage-
ment of internal or external user access to business information
and applications. The results can be dramatic—up to 80 percent
reduction in provisioning time for new employee accounts, up
to 40 percent reduction in identity management administrative
costs and up to 35 percent reduction in password-related calls
to the help desk.1
Security Identity Manager provides complete identity lifecycle
management capabilities that support enrollment, permission
and access control for the complete period in which a person is
employed at a company—with management functions that also
work for business partners, suppliers and other external constitu-
ents who may need trusted access to internal resources. The
solution combines role management and user provisioning to
deliver appropriate access rights to users. In addition, a hierar-
chical role structure streamlines administration and provides
visibility into user access to infrastructure resources. Web self
service for managing roles, accounts and passwords further
simplifies administration and reduces administrative costs by
enabling users to perform tasks themselves. Self-service requests
can be configured to define which attributes are allowed for
self service and which require approval. This is ideal for a
high-volume, large-scale web environment where the exact
identity of users is not known.
When users must access resources beyond their own organiza-
tion, Tivoli Federated Identity Manager provides a highly scal-
able business-to-consumer self-service solution for enrollment,
along with strong authentication, in which:
●● External users initiate enrollment and select their passwords.
●● The organization customizes challenge/response options,
authentication methods and access to applications.
●● The user deletes the account when it is no longer needed.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager provides the federated SSO
and user access management techniques that are necessary for
integration across organizational boundaries.
9. 9IBM Software
The solution provides an identity trust management framework
that enables an organization to know who is connecting to
resources and what credentials they are using—without having
to manage users individually. This is ideal for protecting assets
where users are connected to critical resources from access
points over the Internet or other less-secure environments.
The two solutions can be deployed independently or together.
While Tivoli Federated Identity Manager manages user authen-
tication and authorization to applications, Security Identity
Manager focuses on the management of user identities and
passwords in a closed-loop, workflow-based solution.
Combining both products can provide access to an expanded
set of applications and services. Organizations also can employ
a phased implementation to gradually increase the number of
users supported. This enables the organization to prove the
solution’s business value with a smaller initial set of users, and

This automated, centralized, policy-based solution utilizes roles,
accounts and access permissions to manage user access through-
out the entire user lifecycle. Using user self service, delegated
administration, automated approvals processing, periodic revali-
dation of access rights, and documentation of controls, it can
help increase user efficiency, reduce IT administration costs,
enforce security and manage compliance. Security Identity
Manager is designed to reduce cost and risk by easing the
onboarding and off-boarding of users, and by reporting on
user activity and ongoing access certification.
Security Identity Manager helps organizations solve major chal-
lenges of identity management: meeting internal and regulatory
compliance requirements, maintaining an effective security pos-
ture and achieving a measurable return on investment.
Security Identity Manager is a centralized source for identity management throughout the user lifecycle.

Using Security Identity Manager, the organization can:
●● Simplify and reduce the cost of administration with stream-
lined group management and bulk user recertification
●● Reduce setup time and training with simplified policy,
workflow and configuration
●● Support enhanced security and reduce help-desk costs with
centralized password management
●● Correct and/or remove non-compliant access rights automati-
cally or through periodic access recertification workflows
●● Enhance security and compliance with separation of duties
●● Define processes for workflow and provisioning using
predefined templates
Separation-of-duties capabilities can strengthen security and
compliance by creating, modifying or deleting policies that
exclude users from membership in multiple roles that may pres-
ent a business conflict. For example, a user in an accounts
receivable role cannot also have an accounts payable role. This
preventive approach can guard against violations occurring in
the first place.
Security Identity Manager supports role-based provisioning,
which grants access rights according to corporate policies and
individual duties, as well as request-based user provisioning,
which automatically routes a user’s requests for access to the
appropriate manager for approval. The resulting flexibility helps
organizations administer quick, secure user access. It enables the
provisioning of new users in minutes rather than days so they
can be productive as soon as possible.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager facilitates collaboration inside
and outside an organization by delivering federated SSO. It pro-
vides a central, standards-based web access management system
to manage and enforce user authentication, SSO and self service
for business-to-business, business-to-employee and business-to-
consumer deployments across the enterprise. For scenarios in
which the number of consumers connecting and interacting with
a company often number in the millions, this user-centric
solution relieves the complexity and expense of provisioning and
managing user accounts.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager helps organizations establish
a framework for knowing which users are connected to services
and what credentials are being used to connect without having
to manage individual users.
