Abstract

See full text

Open federation security techniques with rate limits are described. An apparatus may include a network interface operative to communicate messages, and a secure open federation (SOF) module operative to manage a message rate between multiple federated networks. The SOF module may comprise a peer authentication module operative to determine whether a peer making the message is an untrusted peer. The SOF module may comprise a peer rate tracking module operative to retrieve a message rate value and a message rate limit value associated with the untrusted peer, and compare the message rate value with the message rate limit value to form a threat status indicator value. The SOF module may comprise a peer authorization module operative to authorize communication of the message based on the threat status indicator value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
