Credentica White Paper & Presentation
The title of Stefan Brands’ blog post, “New Credentica white paper and other materials” [link to http://www.idcorner.org/?p=145 no longer works], pretty much says it all. If you think about identity management, you should go check these out.
Our white paper discusses all of the features of the U-Prove SDK without going into technical detail. The basic features are: transient ID Tokens; long-lived ID Tokens; protection against forgery, modification, eavesdropping, and phishing; universally unique token identifiers; encoding of token attribute information; user-authenticated presentation transcripts; digital signing with ID Tokens; and, user-driven and verifier-driven revocation. The advanced features include: untraceability; unlinkability; hiding attribute information from verifiers; removing attribute information from presentation transcripts; hiding attribute information from issuers; protecting against transferring and discarding of ID Tokens (software-only); issuer-driven revocation; limiting reuse of ID Tokens; and a range of device-based security measures that can protect against any imaginable unauthorized actions with ID Tokens (without contravening their privacy properties). The white paper also explains how to use the U-Prove SDK to protect identity-related assertions in frameworks such as SAML, Liberty ID-WSF, and Windows CardSpace.
