dbpprop:abstract
  • PAPI (Point of Access for Providers of Information) is a system for providing access control to restricted information resources across the Internet. It intends to keep authentication as an issue local to the organization the user belongs to, while leaving the information providers full control over the resources they offer. The authentication mechanisms are designed to be as flexible as possible, allowing each organization to use its own authentication schema, keeping user privacy, and offering information providers data enough for statistics. Moreover, access control mechanisms are transparent to the user and compatible with the most commonly employed Web browsers and any operating system. The system consists of two independent elements: the authentication server (AS) and the point of access (PoA). This structure makes the final system much more flexible and able to be integrated to different environments. There is no need of a one-to-one mapping between ASes and PoAs: a given PoA may manage to deal with requests from any number of ASes and direct them to any number of web servers.
