Three architectural pillars underscore Sun’s infinite access security model: strong authentication, identity management, and risk management through containment.

• Strong Authentication: multi-factor authentication assigns a verifiable identity to a user, data, application or service. Once authentication occurs, the identity management infrastructure can authorize or refuse entry to or communication with the next tier of access. Authentication opens the doors to services across many different devices and ends the need for multiple passwords and token cards.
• Identity Management: the management of authenticated identities delivers authorization control over role-based access to data, and centralized provisioning and de-provisioning capabilities over user access to data or applications. It also enables authorization escalation, allowing the enterprise to set and enforce policy authorizing what levels of access are allowed under pre-defined levels of authentication, including federation. Federation of authentication allows single-sign-on across services and allows seamless access to multiple capabilities.
• Containment: Strong containment and partitioning capabilities manage the risk of infinite access, allowing authenticated and centrally managed users or data to only interact with the data or application contained within a specific partition. Even if unauthorized access is achieved, the violation is restricted to a limited area of the network. Sun’s N1(tm) Grid Containers will deliver this functionality to the next version of the Solaris Operating System.
