Federated Identity Management - We Built It; Why Won't They Come?

Abstract

Solutions for federated identity management (FIM) are maturing; however, the adoption rate of this technology hasn't been as high as expected. The authors conducted and analyzed eleven semistructured interviews with representatives from the Norwegian oil and gas industry to learn more about the perceived benefits and challenges of FIM adoption. Their results show that some benefits of FIM adoption are offset by its challenges.
