TITLE: Designing Viable Identity Management Infrastructures

ABSTRACT: Within the last few years, several promising security and privacy technologies have become market failures, especially in the PET and identity management space. One possible explanation for this is that human factors and especially economic issues are often neglected by technology developers. Instead, security solutions continue to be designed with formal models in mind, valuing theoretical increases in security guarantees and even pure technical complexity over practical relevance. Building on a literature review, this contribution presents a set of factors influencing the viability of security solutions in the market, and illustrates the concept of viable security. To illustrate that this more pragmatic approach needs not be the end of "hardcore" security and crypto work, the second half of the presentation presents a cost-minimal solution for web sigle sign-on based on the hybridization of password hashing, intercloud key storage and cloud syncing approaches.
