>> >> federated single-sign on.
>> >> I wondered what would happen if a consumer gave a username and password to
>> >> two vendor sites and permitted them to partner for a single signon
>> >> involving, say airlines reservation and an online provider of various
>> >> wedding gifts that has a bridal registry like a department store often
>> >> does.
>> >>
>> >> The consumer order airline tickets to a destination and in the same
>> single signon transaction, an expensive gift is ordered for a wedding gift to
>> >> couple that is registered with the second site. The gift is charged to
>> the consumer's credit card.
>> >>
>> >> The consumer later objects to the gift charge on the credit card,
>> claiming
>> >> it was unauthorized, though the flight was taken to a city which is
>> >> coincidentally the same destination as the expensive gift. The

>> >> Because of the high dollar value of the gift, the merchant refuses
