Part I - Assessment of the state-of-the art of the current Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructures (AAI) for e-ScienceScience (Objective 1) 

This part will cover the rationale (mostly in the context of the added value for science and society) for building an AAI and will compare scalability, governance (and stakeholders), policies and the widely used technologies; an evaluation of how existing AAI deployed for research and education (in Europe and beyond) could also be used to support other sectors will be provided as well.

...

A strengths and weaknesses study (SWOT Analysis) of the existing infrastructure to support the identified use-cases (Objective 2) will be carried out.

This part of the study will also describe scenarios that would benefit from an integrated AAA and evaluate options to deliver an integrated and manageable AAA/AAI for SDI (or e-Infrastructure).
