Federated Identity has two meanings really.
- On the one hand it is the virtual reunion of a person's user information (or principal), stored across multiple identity management systems. This information is joined together by use of a user's name.
- On the other hand it relates to a user's authentication across multiple IT systems or even organisations.
For example, a traveler could be a flight passenger as well as a hotel guest. If the airline and the hotel use a federated identity management system, they mutually trust eachother's authentication of the user. In effect, the traveler could identify as a customer for booking the flight and this identity can be used for the reservation of a hotel room.
