Abstract: Even though e-Government environments have achieved a certain interoperability level and coherence across public sector, there are several approaches, technologies and mechanisms that could aid these environments towards delivering more user-centric electronic services. This paper focuses on the aspect of identity management. More specifically it presents a framework that incorporates the notion of federation and federated identities in order to overcome the impediment of per-sector identifiers. Moreover, it provides Single Sign-On access to electronic services through the utilization of a linking mechanism. This framework has been based on the Greek Interoperability Framework and its specific requirements and limitations.
