ABSTRACT:
As broadband access becomes commonplace, Internet Protocol television (IPTV) will experience rapid growth. Rapid adoption of web-based video content and related services is driving robust identity and authentication functionality. However, a flexible, scalable methodology for subscriber authentication is essential.

This white paper:

  • Describes IPTV federated identity solutions
  • Reviews the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol and two of the most prevalent standards approaches
  • Discusses how these standards apply to IPTV security environments and how they provide a foundation for deploying secure, user-friendly authentication services
