Mapping Web Services Standards to Federated Identity Management Requirements for m-Health

Abstract

m-health promises a great vision for future medical relevant activities. Security and privacy are prime measures to strengthen trust in this ecosystem. Federated identity management (FIDM) is to identify people, applications, platforms or devices in an m-health federation. This paper describes scenarios of m-health, generalizes requirements of FIDM, and maps some standards of Web services to provide such an infrastructure.
