Time 04/24/13 08:30AM-10:00AM
Session Abstract
Shibboleth, Grouper, CoManage, KIM, CAS, have
been joined by the likes of REFEDS, EduGAIN,
Moonshot, and more as the alphabet soup that is
the middleware spectrum of Identity and Access
Management at our campuses has gone global. To
support this widening span of options (Web based
authentication, multifactor authentication, device
based authentication, federated identity, social to
SAML gateway, etc), Internet2 has established the
Trusted Identity In Education initiative to help
support unification of identity options and strategies
in the education space. We will provide an update
on the Shib Consortium, discuss projects CIFER
and CommIT, and review the National Research
and Education Network global partnership effort to
expand EduGAIN.
