Abstract

The ultimate goal of the Excalibur system is to move all authentication away from passwords, to the passwordless future. The aim of this thesis is the integration of the Excalibur system with web-based, password-free protocols SAML and FIDO.  SAML standard was integrated into the Excalibur system and successfully tested on multiple major applications. Excalibur is responsible for authentication and user management, and SAML is used to transfer authentication data to third-party applications.    FIDO, on the other hand, is a complete authentication standard, which can be integrated into the Excalibur system in several ways. The most promising way seems to be replacing the Excalibur authentication mechanism with FIDO2, but weak standard support and missing features do not allow it, for now.
