An OPENID Identity Service for Android, Based on USIM Secure Elements

  • Conference paper
Book cover Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services (MobiCASE 2012)

Abstract

This paper presents a new identity platform based on the OPENID standard for Android mobile and working with the Open Mobile API, which has been recently defined by the SIM Alliance committee. This innovative service comprises four components, an embedded USIM TLS stack, an Android proxy application (PS), an identity provider (IdP) server, and an OPENID authentication server. USIM modules are issued with a device certificate and may thereafter download other certificates from the IdP server. All HTTP exchanges are secure by the USIM TLS stack. This platform may work with about one million of WEB sites, which are today compatible with the OPENID framework.
