Boosting the Robustness of Controller Area Networks: CANcentrate and ReCANcentrate
Two proposed star architectures for systems based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol aim to improve CAN’s error containment and fault tolerance for general distributed embedded systems and safety-critical applications.

A SWIFT Take on Identity Management
A proposed identity management framework provides privacy protection, by means of virtual identities, and cross-layer single sign-on for users who subscribe to multiple service and identity providers.

An Interoperable Approach to Multifactor Identity Verification
Naming heterogeneity occurs in digital identity management systems when the various parties involved in managing digital identities use different vocabularies to denote identity attribute names. To resolve potential interoperability issues due to naming heterogeneity, the authors propose a new protocol that uses lookup tables, dictionaries, and ontology mapping techniques.

Challenges to Supporting Federated Assurance
Typically, federated identity manifests itself as transferring some aspect of a user’s identity from one entity to another. Web single sign-on is an archetypical example of a federated transaction, in which a user authenticates to one website and can then access another with the same login

Attribute Aggregation in Federated Identity Management
Most federated identity management systems are limited by users’ ability to choose only one identity provider per service session. A proposed linking service lets users securely link their various identity provider (IdP) accounts, enabling the system to aggregate attributes from multiple authoritative sources automatically without requiring users to authenticate separately to each IdP.

Trusted Identity for All: Toward Interoperable Trusted Identity Management Systems
The ubiquitous deployment of systems for collecting, processing, and sharing personally identifiable information for service delivery makes every person vulnerable to online theft of identity data, thus undermining confidence in information technologies. This has led to the expansion of research on several digital identity management topics, including improving trustworthiness and privacy.
