Identity Federation
Identity Federation involves the process of linking a person's electronic identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. This allows individuals to use the same set of credentials to access multiple systems or applications within a network. It enables seamless and secure access to resources across different organizations or domains, without the need for separate authentication processes. Identity Federation promotes interoperability, convenience, and improved user experience in accessing various services and applications.
