In some circumstances, it is desirable to prevent the subscriber account from being easily linked at multiple RPs through the use of a common subject identifier. A pairwise pseudonymous identifier (PPI) allows an IdP to provide multiple distinct federated identifiers to different RPs for a single subscriber account. The use of a PPI prevents different RPs from colluding to track the subscriber using the federated identifier.
