Open enhanced federation security techniques

Techniques to protect from open enhanced federation user enumeration are described. An apparatus may include a network interface operative to establish connections. The access edge server may further include an open enhanced federation (OEF) module communicatively coupled to the network interface. The OEF module may be operative to manage connections between multiple federated networks. In one embodiment, for example, the OEF module may comprise a peer authentication module operative to determine whether a peer making the request is an untrusted peer domain. The OEF module may further comprise a peer tracking module operative to retrieve a total request number and a total limit number associated with the untrusted peer, and compare the total request number with the total limit number to form a threat status indicator value. The OEF module may also comprise a peer authorization module operative to authorize the request based on the threat status indicator value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
