Single Sign On Mechanism for Multiple Social Media Sites

Computer Engineering

It is usually not a piratical by asking one user to maintain number of pairs of identity and password for different service provider ,since this could increase the work load of both users and service providers as well as the communication overhead of networks . To tackle this problem , the single sign on mechanism (SSO) is introduce. Single sign-on (SSO) is a new authentication mechanism that enables a legal user with a single credential to be authenticated by multiple service providers in a Social media Network(SMN). Recently, Proposed mechanism allows user to sign on only once and have their identities automatically verified by each application or service they want to access afterwards. The goal of a single sign on platform is to eliminate individual sign on procedures by centralizing user authentication and identity management at a central identity provider. In this SSO system, user should seamlessly authenticated to his multiple user accounts (across different systems) once user proves his/her identity to the identity provider.
