    Integration of Self-Sovereign Identity into Conventional Software using Established IAM Protocols: A Survey
    (Open Identity Summit 2022, 2022) Kuperberg, Michael; Klemens, Robin
    Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is an approach based on asymmetric cryptography and on decentralized, user-controlled exchange of signed assertions. Most SSI implementations are not based on hierarchic certification schemas, but rather on the peer-to-peer and distributed “web of trust” without root or intermediate CAs. As SSI is a nascent technology, the adoption of vendor-independent SSI standards into existing software landscapes is at an early stage. Conventional enterprise-grade IAM implementations and cloud-based Identity Providers rely on widely established pre-SSI standards, and both will not be replaced by SSI offerings in the next few years. The contribution of this paper is an analysis of patterns and products to bridge unmodified pre-SSI applications and conventional IAM with SSI implementations. Our analysis covers 40+ SSI implementations and major authentication protocols such as OpenID Connect and LDAP.

    OIDC-Agent: Managing OpenID Connect Tokens on the Command Line
    (SKILL 2018 - Studierendenkonferenz Informatik, 2018) Zachmann, Gabriel
    OpenID Connect is widely used in Authentication and Authorization Infrastructures including the infrastructures of multiple EU projects like INDIGO -DataCloud, the Human Brain Project or the European Open Science Cloud. Due to their nature, OpenID Connect Access Tokens are currently not straightforward to use from the command line. They have a high character count and are short lived. Therefore, they de facto have to be copied from a source providing the access token, most likely a web service. Considering this insufficient usability from the command line, our goal was to overcome this by developing a tool to manage OpenID Connect tokens. We present the design of this tool named oidc-agent and possible usages. The design is oriented at the ssh-agent, providing the user a familiar way to handle OpenID Connect tokens. By splitting the whole service into multiple components we also ensure privilege separation. We implemented a daemon to manage OpenID Connect tokens (oidc-agent), a tool for generating agent account conĄgurations (oidc-gen) and a tool for loading and unloading these configurations from the agent (oidc-add). Additionally, we provide application programming interfaces for agent clients through C and UNIX domain sockets. We also provide an example agent client (oidc-token) that can be used to easily get an access token from oidc-agent using the command line. Therefore, users do not need to handle long, unhandy access tokens, but the application can obtain an access-token through oidc-agent when needed. All components can be freely used and are available on GitHub under the MIT license.
