Internet and web applications have grown exponentially and have become an essential part of day-to-dayliving. But level of security that this Internet provides has not grown as fast as the Internet applications. As webapplications become more and more widespread, users must handle an increasing number of authentication credentials toestablish security contexts with web applications. Single Sign-On Mechanism is the most popular authenticationmechanism and is used by most of companies now a days. There are many single sign-on protocols available forimplementing it. These single sign-on protocols suffer from an authentication flaw that allows a malicious service providerto impersonate the user. In this survey paper, these types of attacks on single sign-on are explained and also approaches toprevent these attacks are explained with advantages, disadvantages and future scope.
