JRA1.4 - Models for implementing Attribute Providers and Token Translation Services

Within this task we will evaluate how Attribute Providers and Token Translation services could be used to extend the current scope of existing identity federations to existing communities of users and projects.

The overall goal of this task is twofold:

  1. integrate different AAIs with existing federations (already interfederated in eduGAIN); in this respect the main communities considered will be:

    • NRENs, with SSO for web applications

    • libraries, using IP-based access

    • PRACE and EGI, using x509 certs

    • government spaces (for instance using STORK)

  2. provide a model for implementing pilots:

    • on Attribute Authorities, and

    • on Token Translation Services.

Documents and deliverables:

The project activities, so far, produced the following relevant documentation:

  • Flows for AAs [link on Google Drive]

    This is a working document which will intend to describe the possible flows and high level use cases of user interactions involving Attribute Authorities. It is intended to be an outline/draft for people to work on and will provide input to a one pager describing the main terms and concepts regarding AAs to be shared among all participants.
  • Terms and definitions for AAs [link on Google Drive]
    This is a working document which will intend to describe some common terms and definitions of AAI processes involving Attribute Authorities. It is intended to be simple and direct to describe the main terms and concepts regarding AAs to be shared among all participants.
