Abstract(in English) In identity federation, each service provider verifies the identity of a user based on authentication performed by an authentication server called an Identity Provider (IdP). When the IdP suffer troubles like an unauthorized person has cracked into the IdP or the IdP is unreachable due to a network problem, all services in the federation are affected by them. Simple replication of servers for the IdP causes privacy concern because raw attribute values of users must be copied to many servers, including some servers that may not be fully trusted. In order to maintain the function as an IdP even under such troubles, we propose a system in which servers of the IdP are distributed and cooperate using threshold-based authentication and secret sharing. In this paper, we design the system from the viewpoint of management of attribute values so that an administrator of the IdP can update the values anytime while keeping consistency of attribute values among the servers in the IdP.
