This Task delivers developments aimed at federations and campus identity providers, based on the existing federated identity and eduGAIN models and technologies.
It aims to make federated identity on a pan-European scale easier for federations and campus IdPs to adopt, more scalable to cope with significant growth of entities via eduGAIN, and more secure in complex operating environments.
Key objectives
The key objectives of Task 1 are:
T1.1 eduGAIN policy review
- In December 2015, the European Parliament and Council reached agreement on data protection reform [DPREFORM]. This will require legal and federation consultation and analysis of eduGAIN’s policies focused on attribute release (Code of Conduct, EU and international variants, Research and Scholarship Entity Categories, recommendations on User consent), in particular focusing on service implications for eduGAIN members.
T1.2 eduGAIN metadata management and attribute release management
- Develop, pilot and enhance methods for facilitating attribute release and encouraging take-up by federations, including GÉANT Code of Conduct development and support for R&S within eduGAIN.
- Develop and enhance methods for improving metadata management and interoperability, e.g. adoption and customisation of FedLab results.
- Develop and enhance methods to ensure quality metadata exchange, e.g. implementation of best practice on metadata streams for eduGAIN.
T1.3 Development of supporting services for campus identity providers
- Based on findings from AARC, TIER (Internet2) and NREN developments, develop a campus IdP extension to the FaaS service for sites and regions who currently do not have the ability to support or offer a cloud IdP-type of service to campuses.
T1.4 eduGAIN incident management development
- Based on findings from AARC and REFEDS, pilot and implement the recommendations on the Security Incident Response Trust Framework for Federated Identity (SIRTFI) in the eduGAIN operational context.
