9.3 Multilateral Federation Network

Agencies A, B, and C each have an IdP that provides OpenID Connect for their subscriber accounts. All three agencies join a multilateral federation run by an independent agency that is set up to provide interagency connections. The federation authority independently verifies that each IdP represents the agency in question. The federation authority publishes the discovery records of the IdPs for all agencies that are part of the multilateral federation using a discovery specification, such as [OIDFed]. Such specifications allow RPs within the federation to discover the characteristics of IdP that may be used to access accounts for a given agency under the rules of the federation agreement.

RPs X and Y wish to allow logins from agencies A, B, and C, and the RPs declare their intent to join the federation and send a list of required attributes to the federation authority. The federation authority assesses the RP requests and adds them to the multilateral federation’s trust agreement. This allows both RPs to register at each of the three separate IdPs as needed for each agency.

Both RPs interface directly with each of the three IdPs and not through a federation proxy. When a new IdP or RP is added to the multilateral federation agreement, the existing IdPs and RPs are notified of the new component and its parameters.

The IdPs and RPs establish a shared signaling channel under the auspices of the federation authority. This allows any IdP or RP to report suspicious or malicious behavior that involves a specific account to the rest of the members under the federation authority.
