Description
This talk provides an overview on the developments in the identity space that characterise the research and education community.
Federated access has established itself a secure and user-friendly approach to access management, and via eduGAIN this approach scales at global level and meets the needs of a wide range of services.
Increasingly, fine grained access management is also becoming a requirement for international research collaborations,some of whom have some specific requirements that go beyond present-day capabilities and pose additional challenges to eduGAIN and more in general to federated access. To address these advanced cases, eduGAIN offers a solid foundation on which to build on top of it advanced, tailored technical solutions for research and the AARC architecture provides an approach to integrate them into a wider ecosystem of infrastructures and services for R&E.
This talk focuses on the work done within the AARC project to follow a community-driven approach to propose best practices, architectural patterns and interfaces, to enable research and e-infrastructures to build interoperable Authentication and authorisation infrastructures (AAIs). The talk will also briefly report on the plan to continue AARC work in AARC2. See also: https://aarc-project.eu
