Title

update SAML tracer

Description

The SAML Tracer (https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/saml-tracer/) is a highly rated firefox plugin which was developed in our community (UNINETT, with contributions from others). As the browser is the central entity in any SAML transaction, it is extremely convenient tool for testing en debugging SAML transactions. There are not many alternatives to this tool

Unfortunately, Firefox has changed its plugin framework, rendering the existig plugin useless and a major rework is needed.

Title

Investigate and test privacy enhancing technologies

Description

During REFEDs at TechEx2017,and later-on during TechEx2017 itself, a interesting discussions developed over the future of federation, the role of users and the use/rise of proxy technology.

This activity investigates and showcases privacy enhancing technologies including, but not limited to, PEP (Polymorphic Encryption Pseudonyms) (1) and IRMA (I reveal my attributes) (2) and tests and validates applicability and usecases of these in the context of R&E federations and eduGAIN.


SURFnet has build some experience with these technologies on a national level, and has for example implemented PEP into commonly used software products like ADFS, Shibboleth and SimpleSAMLphp. In regard to IRMA, it has now been enable in pilot for both SURFconext federation as well as the IDIN Bank ID federation. We feel these technologies have significant promise, but would like to validate this in international context. We would also like to learn about other alternative strategies and solutions that may help us to shape the future of our identity federations.
