This white paper shows how mobile operators can implement Liberty-enabled solutions to meet the needs of both the Identity Federation and Identity Web Services. Pure mobile operators can achieve more business opportunities by implementing open interfaces with third party service providers, while the same solution can be used to de-fragment an Identity Management infrastructure.
For operators offering both fixed and mobile products, the solution can help to unify the domains, as well as reinforce customer loyalty by creating additional benefits for customers with several access methods, including fixed/mobile telephony and fixed/
wireless broadband access. The white paper outlines a number of technical use cases to illustrate the implementation, which can largely be done on top of an existing infrastructure, and discusses the network entities included in the solution as well as its functionality.

This paper was written in collaboration with in 2005, While it leverages mobile samples to explain how Liberty specifications can be used, described concepts remains valid for any vertical or industries. Especially the one related to cross border circle of trust, where a given service provider cannot not interact directly with end user authentication service, but has to proxy  the authentication request. This cross border federation or proxy authentication becomes more and more important as soon as federation start to expend, as good example being todays government deployments.
