Abstract

NSF and NIH have joined the InCommon Federation and are enabling their applications to use federated identity for members of the InCommon Federation, an organization that provides a federated trust framework for research and education institutions and their partners. This session will 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.
