Summary:The present disclosure describes a tiered identification federated authentication network system. Embodiments compile one or more authentication credentials required for access to each of a plurality of applications to generate an authentication set for each application. The system may aggregate the plurality of authentication sets to form a tiered federated authentication module having multiple rankings, wherein each rank is associated with an authentication set; wherein a higher ranked authentication set corresponds to more stringent authentication credentials and a lower ranked authentication set corresponds to less stringent authentication credentials. The system may receive a request from a user for access to a current application, determine if the user has previously authenticated to a higher ranked application and, if so, enable access to the current application, without requiring the user to authenticate again.
