Integrated Partner Networks

Enterprises can construct a network of partnered services for securely exchanging customer account information, transaction data, and credentials through a set of interoperable web services. Federation among partner networks allows identities to share key pieces of their respective data without sharing control. For example, logging in to one web site that represents an authentication domain consisting of an airline, a car rental company, and a hotel chain allows an identity to make travel plans even if one of the sites does not contain an identity data store.
