Federated security

A Federated security system is an arrangement for managing identities and access to resources that span companies or security domains. It avoids identity duplication and security administration at multiple locations and provides an easy way of managing identities and providing them with access to information and services in a trusted manner.

In a federated system, a group of organizations shares identity attributes based on mutual trust and agreed-upon standards, facilitating authentication from other members of the federation, and granting appropriate access to online resources. Authentication is a process to verify the identity of the users and system processes. TotalAgility uses the federated security system or claim-based identity for authentication.

Refer to Kofax TotalAgility Federated Authentication for an overview of Claims-based identity or federated authentication, and scenarios.
