What Is Federated Identity and Why Does Everyone Want It?
Speaker: Ardoth Hassler
Wouldn’t it be nice to logon to our institutional system and then conduct business with NSF, NIH and other facilities? NSF has joined the InCommon Federation and is implementing it for Research.gov access (and later FastLane access) to be able to accept recognized single sign on credentials from InCommon members. We will focus on understanding the benefits to institutions, what it means for NSF and review the management and operational opportunities and challenges associated with implementing federated IdM, including: what federated IdM does and doesn't do; level of assurance issues (Identity Assurance Framework); and how large facilities can leverage these technologies.
