Dependent claims

An ID bridge service system that provides first identity information required for provision of service by an application service system to the application service system, comprising:

an SP management database (DB) that manages a type and assurance of the first identity information required for the provision of the service by the application service system;
and
an IDP management database (DB) that manages a type and assurance of second identity information managed by a plurality of authentication service systems,
the system further comprising:
a selecting measure that selects an authentication service system that manages the second identity information which corresponds to the first identity information managed in the SP management DB and required for the provision of the service by the application service system and which is managed in the IDP management DB out of the plurality of authentication service systems when a request for authentication is received from the application service system;
and
a requesting measure that requests the selected authentication service system to authenticate.

An ID bridge service method in which an ID bridge service system provides first identity information required for provision of service by an application service system to the application service system, comprising:

an SP management database (DB) that manages a type and assurance of the first identity information required for the provision of the service by the application service system;
and
an IDP management database (DB) that manages a type and assurance of second identity information managed by a plurality of authentication service systems,
wherein the ID bridge service system selects an authentication service system that manages the second identity information which corresponds to the first identity information managed in the SP management DB and required for the provision of the service by the application service system and which is managed in the IDP management DB out of the plurality of authentication service systems when the ID bridge service system receives a request for authentication from the application service system, and requests the selected authentication service system to authenticate.
