Abstract
A method that provides efficient integration of infrastructure for federated single sign on (e.g. Liberty ID-FP framework) and generic bootstrapping architecture (e.g. 3GPP GAA/GBA architecture) uses an integrated proxy server (IAP). The IAP is inserted in the path between a user and a service provider (SP). The IAP differentiates type of access and determines corresponding operative state to act as a liberty enabled server or as a GAA/GBA network application function. A Bootstrapping, Identity, Authentication and Session Management arrangement (BIAS) leverages on 3GPP GAA/GBA infrastructure to provide an integrated system for handling Liberty Federated SSO and 3GPP GAA/GBA bootstrapping procedures at the same time. This method and arrangement provides improved use of infrastructure elements and performance for authenticated service access.
