It should be noted that the above set contains several standards that are not 'mature', and sometimes still in heavy development. Often also not tested at scale or across multiple sectors. In many of the governance bodies, the precense and hence influence of the R&E community is low.
National implementation

profiles
The above standards are generally viewed a sufficient, however, in many cases the details of the specification implementation, like e.g. which specific encryption protocols to support, need to be defined as well to achive interoperability. Also many real world scenarios, also in education, actually do not need the high level of assurance that is mandatory for the EUDI usecase. As a result, and also because ARF is still lacking in several areas, National Initiatives, are emerging to define typically more lightweight profiles with a specific subset of the ARF specifications, and in ather areas fill some of the gaps that still exist in the ARF.
Examples of such initiatives include:
- DIIP (Decentralised Identity Interop Profile) (The Netherlands)
FIND THE URLeudi-wif (Sweden / Italy)
Sectoral
Reserach and education is one of the sectors with a fairly high level of organisation when it comes to standarisation and its governance on the standards
- Identity
- REFEDs is the voice that articulates the mutual needs of research and education identity federations worldwide. The group represents the requirements of research and education. REFEDs has over the years defined many specifications that harmonize interoperability between R&E identity federations globally.
