Federated Single Sign on in Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) Networks


In a military setting resource exchange amongst coalition partners is of great importance. Using SAML2.0 in a Single Sign On scheme in a federated setting can be a solution to Web authentication of Web resources.

The problem of adding security in a potentially disconnected, intermittent and limited (DIL) network environment is the security overhead. In this paper tests are performed to measure this overhead, and the results are evaluated.
