All templates and guidelines as a handy list
The AARC PDK consists of templates - documents where the core content is either highly determined or should be treated as 'immutable' for better interoperability - and guidelines - helping research collaboration, infrastructures, and service providers with their own procedures and practices, where adopting good practices rather than the exact wording of a policy or procedure is the key value for interoperability. Can they help your trusted collaboration?

Snctfi, operational policies, and AAI service providers
Smaller and mid-sized communities may opt to offload some of the more complex aspects of authentication and authorisation to dedicated AAI service providers. And if you operate your own AAI core components, both your users and resource providers may want to have some assurance about the trust and security posture of your AAI platform. The Snctfi suite is the set of assessable and verifiable policies and procedures in the PDK that AAI platform providers can use to make the trustworthiness of their systems transparent to users and relying parties alike.
Like Sirtfi for security incident response, Snctfi provides a self-assessment framework, but having this assessment peer reviewed brings several benefits. For one, it increases the trust others have in your platform and your assessment, making it easier for ‘as-a-service’ operators to engage with new collaborations and infrastructures. And it brings advantages to yourself as well, as you can compare notes with your peers and become better together through shared learning.
AARC does not endorse any specific AAI platform or platform provider. By asking Snctfi specific information you can inform yourself about the suitability of the provider of your choice, and work with them to ensure your bases are covered by a secure, resilient, and interoperable AAI.
