Abstract
Examining identity federation protocols for cross-institutional collaboration between healthcare providers, academic institutions, and enterprise partners without credential exposure.
Methodology
Analysis of LeepID zero-trust authentication logs across 1.2 million user session authorizations.
Key Empirical Findings
- Eliminated perimeter-based network assumptions across multi-campus deployments.
- Hardware-backed passkey authorization reduced account compromise risk by 99.4%.
- Federated role-based token evaluation latency consistently under 1.2ms.
1. The Deficiencies of Perimeter Security
Traditional VPNs and IP-whitelisted networks assume trust based on network location. In modern multi-institutional operations, network boundaries are fluid, requiring per-request cryptographic authorization.
2. LeepID Architectural Evaluation
LeepID implements short-lived JWT tokens tied to hardware security keys, evaluating organizational policies dynamically at the edge API gateway.
