Case Study: According to Wikipedia, "centralized identity management solutions were created to help deal with user and data security where the user and the systems they accessed were within the same network - or at least the same "domain of control". Increasingly however, users are accessing external systems which are fundamentally outside of their domain of control, and external users are accessing internal systems. The increasingly common separation of user from the systems requiring access is an inevitable by-product of the decentralization brought about by the integration of the Internet into every aspect of both personal and business life. Evolving identity management challenges, and especially the challenges associated with cross-company, cross-domain issues, has given rise to a new approach of identity management, known now as "federated identity management."
