Abstract :
This paper proposes an Identity Federation-based Mobile Messaging Framework. It leverages the existing Identity Federation concepts, with enhancements for adapting them to a Mobile Messaging scenario. We further present how the framework, can enable User Control and Privacy, with regards to their Mobile Messaging-based service invocations. Application providers can be issued dynamic transaction-based transient authorizations, which can be delegated to further Application providers for service composition-based use-cases. At the same time, the Mobile Service Provider, by virtue of having an authentication and billing-based relationship with the User, is guaranteed a place in the MM-based services value chain. We also present a set of exemplary, yet novel use-cases, enabled by the framework.
