Standardisation of this technology is being undertaken within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) – ABFAB WG to ensure that take up and adoption is possible across as broad a market as possible. Moonshot has been developed by Janet JISC as an open source implementation of this, which is fully in line with current EC recommendations.

Costs to institutions are to implement some technical infrastructure
Moonshot currently requires a FreeRADIUS server.
Target of 1 MM to set up and configure campus IdP and RADIUS proxy.
Institutions that don’t yet run FreeRADIUS and may lack Linux expertise may require longer to implement.Time
End sites and NRENs can implement Moonshot now.
NRENs can either install their own Trust Router or can join the Janet Trust Router infrastructure that is now available. V1.4 of Trust Router was released 26 September 2014 and includes peering to faciliated interfederation. This will be tested in Q4 2014.A full GÉANT Moonshot interfederation service is planned for GN4 Phase 1.
Alternatives
The EC-funded AAA Study led by TERENA and composed by University of Amsterdam, LIBER and the University of Debrecen provides recommendations for the development and deployment of a Scientific Data e-Infrastructure (SDI) to enable access to heterogonous data for researchers and citizens. Of the current and emerging services reviewed, no other solution has been identified that solves the use cases and meets the customer requirements of Moonshot.

The technologies in Moonshot have been actively developed within the IETF.
