Abstract

Currently there are many different Identity Management Systems which differ in their architectures as well as use different protocols and serve differentpurposes and are extensively used by organisationsto provide online services. With the remarkable growthof mobile phones in the last few years, both in number and computational power, more and more usersare accessing an array of online services using their mobile phones. One of the major concerns for the user of mobile phones is the battery life which is limited and tends to run out quickly. Hence, efficiency in power consumption is a crucial factor for any system when it is accessed using a mobile phone. Inthis paper, we analyse the efficiency, in terms of power consumption, of different browsers in mobile phones and different Identity Management Systems when the mobile phones are used to access online services protected by those Identity Management Systems.
