When working from home on personal computers doing personal business, many persons will use their Internet service provider as the repository of basic attributes. When a person has logged into their Internet account, they will receive a fresh attribute assertion that they will bring with them to use as they need and dictate. If they visit a site that requires registration, with the user’s permission much of the work will be automated. The user will reap the benefits of single sign-on, and no additional usernames and passwords will be generated. Subsequent visits to the site will be authorized transparently and effortlessly, as a freshly obtained attribute assertion will be passed to the web site. Imagine a “Log In” button with no fields attached to it, clicking it will allow a user’s computer to pass the assertion to the remote site.
