[jbossws-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBWS-1550) biometric authentication support

biometric authentication support -------------------------------- Key: JBWS-1550 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1550 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: jbossws-native Reporter: William DeCoste Fix For: jbossws-3.x Intuit request. Notes: Desktop client presents user credentials to the server to assure confidentiality of user identity. The Desktop Client can be either a .NET client or a Java rich client. The Server is a business service running Java Web services using a Java EE Web / application server. The user credentials can be username tokens (e.g. user id and password), certificate tokens (e.g. X.509v3 certificates), binary tokens (e.g. biometrics, fingerprint). Certificate tokens or binary tokens are often used multi-factor authentication to assure confidentiality and to meet compliance requirements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ Web browser presents user credentials to the server to assure confidentiality of user identity. The Web browser can be Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Firefox Web browser. The Server is a business service running Java Web services using a Java EE Web / application server. The user credentials can be username tokens (e.g. user id and password), digital certificates tokens (e.g. X.509v3 certificates), or binary tokens (e.g. biometrics, fingerprint). Certificate tokens or binary tokens are often used multi-factor authentication to assure confidentiality and to meet compliance requirements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third party presents user credentials via Web service to the server to assure confidentiality. Third party can be a remote trusted host (e.g. third party application), hosted application (e.g. in remote data center) or a trusted service provider that interact with Intuit Web services. The Web service can be SOAP or REST Web service. The Server is a business service running Java Web services using a Java EE Web / application server. The user credentials can be username tokens (e.g. user id and password), digital certificates tokens (e.g. X.509v3 certificates), binary tokens (e.g. biometrics, fingerprint) or a mixture of these tokens (as in multi-factor authentication).
