Abstract

People spend time on web 2.0 sites to contribute contents and make connections with each other. On these sites a user wants to selectively reveal parts his attributes to other users, and he also wants to know more attributes of another user. Users' online attributes are often distributed across multiple sites since most users visit more than one web sites. Currently only the attributes within a specific web site can be queried on that site. This paper proposes a new solution, based on federated identity management, to enable an end user to query the cross-site attributes of another person as easily as possible.
