AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT OF SINGLE SIGN ON PASSWORDS

摘要

Identity Management (IdM) systems prevent a user from having to memorize numerous passwords for different resources, while Single Sign-On (SSO) systems allow a user to login to several resources by providing login credentials once. Since IdM systems propagate the same password to numerous resources, a compromised password for one resource would allow unauthorized access to all resources. A system can automatically generate unique passwords for each of a plurality of resources and update login information on each resource to reflect the unique password.
