Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 integrates an innovative, powerful mechanism for SharePoint authentication called Claims-Based Authentication (CBA) that includes native hooks into standard Microsoft directory services, LOB databases, and other identity models to provide a more seamless SharePoint  user experience.Importantly, Claims-Based Authentication provides a means of authentication based on accepted industry standards including common web services protocols, such as WS-Federation and WS-Trust. What this essentially means is direct integration of diverse systems using open standard communication, allowing developers to target platforms for building connectors between various identity systems.

ARB Security Solutions as a specialized SharePoint security provider can exploit the CBA approach for your SharePoint implementation in a variety of ways to build both simple and complex federation partnerships both within and outside of your corporate environment. ARB Security Solutions can use CBA to address corporate privacy and other compliance issues by abstracting identity information into generic less personal data about employees and partners integrating both external and internal trusts with identity systems in order to validate claims of identity by SharePoint users.

Furthermore, ARB Security Solutions can address identity lifecycycle management of SharePoint users so that a holistic management scheme and tooling can be provided to both provide management actions as well as executive reporting. This aims at increase SharePoint user governance while providing solutions tailored to your specific organization.
