Moonshot: Federated Authentication beyond the Web

Free Software as a Platform for a New Technology

The world is filled with consumer and web-focused federated authentication solutions. However as federations grow to hundreds of identity providers, enterprises begin to see strain of the current design. Moonshot combines four key security technologies (EAP, SAML, RADIUS and GSS-API) to address these scaling challenges and to bring federation to any software, not just the web browser. This talk describes the Moonshot technology as well as the ongoing community-driven free-software effort to realize the technology. One key focus is the role of Debian in particular and distributions in general in driving coherent technology evolution.
