Autograph - a personal privacy manager

- the federation becomes transparent -

Autograph makes privacy in a Shibboleth® federation transparent and manageable. It allows members of an Identity Provider (e.g. students of a university) to configure their own Attribute Release Policy, or, in Autograph terms, their own idCards.

Utilizing Autograph Shibboleth obeys the first two of Kim Cameron's "Laws of Identity":
It reveals personal information only with the user's consent and it discloses only the information which is needed.

Highlights:

• seamless integration in Shibboleth Single Sign On Profile more

• user maintainable attributes

• "on top" installation (Shibboleth IdP code is untouched!)

Autograph in Action

To experience Autograph in action you can test an installation in the MAMS level 1 federation.

Step 1: Add a user to the testfed openidp:

• Go to the 'TestFed OpenIdP' register service and register a user by filling out the provided form.

Step 2: Configure your idCard with Autograph:

• Go to one of the Service Providers in the Federation (e.g. sp-afs.mams.org.au ) using the 'TestFed OpenIdP'.
  

Note: You will only be redirected to Autograph when you visit the Service Provider the first time. After that you will have to go to Autograph explicitly by using this link.
