چکیده
The emerging debate over identification and the selection of technology to authenticate individuals and enterprises alike is among the most important issues that is shaping the information age today.

The paper presents a progress report on the FEGIMA project that aims to deliver a unique framework whose fundamental innovation lies in the fact that it extends the management of global identity to get federated access across heterogeneous ICT platforms.
