Shibboleth + delegation
Shibboleth is already used for federated authentication. It has ECP support with delegation, though only through a plugin. The next major IdP release may include it though.
One cannot expect each IdP to install this plugin, or to have an up-to-date version [TODO check if this is the case with Shibboleth version policies]. Therefore this option is not viable.
SAML ECP
OAuth 1.0
OAuth 2.0
