The GN4-3 WP5 T2 Trust and Identity Incubator (“T&I Incubator”) aims to develop,
foster and mature new ideas in the Trust and Identity space in Research and Education.
The incubator will investigate new technologies that currently have no place (yet) in
the services ecosystem of the GÉANT project. This may include to test and experiment
with potential new features for existing GÉANT services. In addition also business
case development for potential new services and developments that would improve data
protection and privacy aspects in services or software are in scope.

<p>
The T&I incubator runs four to eight incubator activities per project year in
parallel. These incubators typically take about 6 months and employ an agile
methodology to enable rapid development of ideas. Preferably at least two subject
matter experts work together with support from the project team. Subject matter
experts are recruited from within the team or, preferred, sponsored by their NRENs. In
addition, the project team facilitates the incubator track by providing a scrum master
and dedicated developers.

Main Incubator Board (MIB) aims to represent a broad view on Trust and Identity
related developments in R&E. MIB members are senior subject matter experts from the
European NREN trust and identity community. They evaluate new ideas and provide advice
to the work package lead. They are also responsible for reviewing activities at the
end of each incubator cycle and providing recommendations on how to proceed. The
incubator team presents their results regularly to the the MIB's and the wider
community. In the middle and at the end of a cycle there are two events public events,
so called sprint demos.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is about creating and managing digital identity for
users, which can be used to represent a person in the digital world. Using state of the
art authentication and authorization methods ensures that only the owner can access his
identity and only entitled can access a resource. In this area, it is all about Identity
Providers, Identity Federation, Service Providers and Discovery Services. Your project
may improve existing software solutions or create new applications for a global
community.

Building on top of existing infrastructure and applications, Standards and Protocols is
about creating new ways to for applications and users to communicate. This area is all
about protocols and standards used or being developed in the global Trust and Identity
community, like the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Open ID Connect
(OIDC), which will be used to integrate new capabilities in an already existing large
infrastructure.

Security is an integral part of most applications and infrastructures. Ensuring data
protection, privacy and safety by using measures like encryption and cryptography is
nowadays mandatory. In this area, you may investigate, test and integrate new security
features in existing Trust & Identity applications or to create new services that help
secure our community, by working on for example multi factor authentication or HSM
technologies.

The service task operates and maintains the T&I services in the GÉANT project (WP5
T1). The incubator works closely with the responsible service owner on activities that
have an impact on an existing service. They are already involved in the selection of
new activities to ensure that the topic is appropriately supported. Once the activity
is completed, all results are handed over to the service owner, who will take care of
further development.
</p>
</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="deliverable-community" role="tabpanel">
<p>
Some of the Incubator's outputs are not handed over to a specific party, but are made
available to the wider community. These are, for example, the results of studies and
research that are published or software that is publicly released as open source. All
results are publicly available and announced via the project's news channels to inform
as many community members as possible.

</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="deliverable-external" role="tabpanel">

In addition to the general R&E community, the Incubator sometimes works with external
partners. These can be other communities, projects or groups that develop software
products or provide services. Examples are institutions, individual NRENS or groups
such as the Shibboleth Consortium.

The Incubator accepts proposals from the entire R&E community as long as they are
suitable to improve the T&I space. All kinds of innovative ideas are welcome,
regardless of whether they are about new products, improving existing services or even
completely disruptive. The format for submitting a proposal is designed to be as
simple as possible. There is a "Call for Ideas" page in the GÉANT wiki where anyone
can share their ideas. All you have to do is create a new row in the table and
describe your own idea. Other community members can comment and support it. The more
popular an idea is, the more likely it is to be implemented in the Incubator. New
ideas can be submitted at any time, but there is a deadline before each cycle so that
they can be considered for the next cycle.

<p class="card-text">
The AARC Blueprint Architecture (BPA) describes a "Community AAI" solution, a set of
software building blocks that can be used to implement federated access management
solutions for (inter)national research collaborations. The benefit of the BPA is that its
proxy-based architecture provides both a technical integration point for authentication
and authorisation, as well as a centralised point for implementing the research
communities' policies. The BPA also identifies a "membership management service" which
implements community-specific onboarding to help establish the researcher's status and may
be used to issue community-specific attributes to establish roles and rights.
Implementations of the BPA, like eduTEAMS and SRAM, have greatly improved the capability
to use FIM for research communities.
<br />
At first glance, a SSI based model may offer similar benefits as the AARC BPA model, while
reducing the number of impediments as a wallet model may take away the need to have a
proxy as the central authentication gateway. This activity will further explored the
potential use of SSI technology in the context of the AARC BPA. It will describing where
SSI technology may be leveraged, explore benefits and challenges and describe how that may
be implement. A number of technical pilots will test the assumptions.

<h2 class="card-title">Account Linking</h2>
<p class="card-text">
Account linking is, in principle, a simple process of joining users digital identities.
Users have to prove that they own two or more digital identities, which are consecutively
linked together in the identity management system. CESNET has very positive feedback on
ELIXIR workflow for account linking. User signs in with one identity, then with a second
one, and the identities are linked. The positive feedback is coming not only from the
ELIXIR community but also from users from other communities, even outside the life-science
area. The significant issue of the workflow is its user interface, which is still too
complicated for users to navigate through smoothly. Because the process consists of
several steps, skipping one step or leaving the linking process unfinished makes it even
more prone to errors. Users need a straightforward interface that will guide them
step-by-step through the whole process.
<br />
The goal of the topic is to develop a new web application for account linking, test it
with end-users and improve it based on user feedback. The application has to support a
recommendation system that tries to guess linkable identities. It also has to deal with
all possible situations in a user-friendly way. The situations include linking identities
that already belong to different registered users or linking identities neither of which
belongs to a registered user.

<p class="card-text">
With the growth of the metadata feeds all over the world, together with the increased need
for catering for multiple federations at once, Service Providers are increasingly reliant
on the MetaData Query (MDQ) protocol, for Relying Party metadata lookup. (MDQ is also
commonly referred to as MDX (MetaData eXchange) for historical reasons: the name of a
mailing list where the spec was discussed.) This protocol is however not widely deploy at
this time, due to technical complexity In addition, for MDQ there is only one
implementation in common use: pyFF. This is a risk as it creates a high dependence on that
piece of technology.
<br />
This activity seeks to simplify the scalable use of MDQ, both for federations that
currently operate a MDQ as well as for federations tat do not provide an MDQ service. In
addition it wants to create an alternative implementation, next to pyFF, for creating and
managing XML metadata. The aim is to deliver EntityDescriptors as flat files in such a way
this mimics MDQ protocol and combine that with Global DNS to create a super fast and
highly redundant distribution mechanism for MDQ.

<h2 class="card-title">Acceptable Use Policy Service</h2>
<p class="card-text">
The primary goal of the Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) is to
provide centralized authentication and authorization mechanisms. In an environment based
on the AAI, one of such authorization rules might be fulfilling the policy requirements,
set i.e. in an AUP document defined by the community, service provider, or organizational
unit. In general, when the resource owner or provider decides that a specific policy has
to be enforced when the resource is used, AAI needs to provide a mechanism for both sides
to manage and fulfill this requirement. These rules need to cover several cases, i.e. a
situation of actively using the resource (i.e. web-based service login), as well as
just-in-case scenarios, like the data provisioning.
<br />
This topic aims to explore the area of enforcing acceptance of Acceptable Use Policies as
an activity of managing access to resources. We like to understand which parties (e.g.
user communities, e-infrastructures, resource owners, …) need to be involved in the
process and how to combine their requirements together. Based on the analysis we will
develop a web-based application which will provide tools to manage AUPs on a central level
(within the AAI) and let users approve (whilst recording this act) such a policy document.

<p class="card-text">
This activity examined how identity vetting and token registration can be scaled for
second-factor authentication scenarios where participants are distributed over EU and
beyond. As part of this activity a specific flow - based on a community-based approach -
was investigated. It takes into account the concept of the Web of Trust. While this
mechanism typically does not work well in broad user groups, it is very well suited to
distribute trust between small groups where a pre-existing trust fabric is already in
place, as we typically have in research communities. What was missing is a means to make
this trust network auditable and transparent. In order to make the trust network
transparent, this activity identified and developed tools to support this flow.

<h2 class="card-title">Distributed Identity Revisited</h2>
<div class="card-text">
<p>
Distributed Identity (DI) presents an interesting paradigm for the T&I NREN community.
Its concepts are very appealing and align well with public values in our community. At
the same time many of the technical and functional properties are still in development
and present numerous questions and challenges, as was shown in recent work in NRENs and
in the Incubator. The activity proposed builds on earlier work and investigates the
following aspects of DI:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
What roles could/should GEANT and NRENs play in a DI ecosystem, and what are the
associated benefits, challenges and risks?
</li>
<li>
Which current services in the GEANT portfolio would benefit from the use of DI, and
what would that look like?
</li>
<li>
To what extent can existing initiatives implementing distributed ledgers technology be
used to act as a Verifyable Data Registry to satisfy the above use cases and
requirements? We should test with for example EBSI, etherium or Sovrin. How do these
compare to the IRMA solution we previously tested. (IRMA does not use DLT).
</li>
<li>
Initial testing with IRMA revealed a wallet based approach may not always provide an
optimal user experience. What requirements do we have for the User interface
(wallet/app) and can we implement or mock these to test these requirements with
stakeholders.

<p class="card-text">
Several research communities, especially in the life sciences domain, have a need to use
second factor authentication to improve the quality of their authentication. One of the
challenges identified was how to securely vet the second factor tokens of the participants
of a collaboration in a case where the members of the collaboration are very distributed,
as is the case in most pan-EU research collaborations. This activity investigated,
together with research communities, how the token registration can be scaled for scenarios
where participants are distributed over the EU and beyond. The aim of this task was to
identify ways this vetting can be done.

eduLNK aims to provide software and potentially a servcie for a secure, persistent and
privacy preserving link shortener for research and education. Link shorteners reduce a
lengthy URL on the internet to something short and snappy, and sometimes easy to remember.
As such it is a very well used and liked functionality within our community. Many ‘free’
link shorteners exist, however, their free nature comes with a number of challenges,
including serving advertisements and data mining the users behaviour and interests. Next
to privacy concerns, many free link shorteners have a limited lifetime for the links they
present. eduLNK aspires to deliver a product from and for the community which can be

<h2 class="card-title">Instant User Provisioning</h2>
<p class="card-text">
Some systems, like non-web services, cannot be federated easily because they need user
accounts to be provisioned before they can login. A prototype of an instant deployment
tool called FEUDAL was developed by KIT. It facilitates provisioning of user accounts
using virtual organisations (VO). Feudal is based on OIDC: It is an OIDC client, and it
simply transports the information of the /userinfo endpoint along. Feudal is based on the
concept of VOs (or authorisation Groups), i.e. the end services provide the information
which VOs it supports. Feudal web fronted will only display services for provisioning to a
given user based on his VO membership.

<h2 class="card-title">Identity Validation Broker</h2>
<p class="card-text">
Both research communities as well as institutions have a need for proper proof of the
identity of their users. This ranges from cases where e.g. new students living abroad need
to be identified as part of the boarding into an institution, to scenarios where access to
(medical) data puts regulatory demands on the research community. Identity proofing is
however expensive and scales very poorly, especially in cases where the users are (very)
distributed. This activity investigates, based on requirements collected from multiple
stakeholders, if and in which way this situation may be improved.

<h5>Ownership & Utilisation</h5>
<p>
Our findings indicated a strong desire for information about the capabilities of the
various document-based identity verification solutions, which would help in defining
what the requirements and suitable deployment model for an R&E focused solution could
be. In particular we concluded that further work would be needed to reach a definitive
conclusion and recommended: Establishment of a platform for information capture and
exchange on document-based identity verification solutions Comparative analysis of
available commercial solutions should be performed and made available Surveying of the
broader R&E community based on the findings so far to see the level of interest and
support more generally Constructing a preliminary business case for a community-operated
service following the broader survey It is hoped that an interested party or parties can
take this work forward, as further work on this topic is currently outside the scope of
the Incubator.

<a href="https://indigo-dc.gitbook.io/oidc-agent/">oidc-agent</a> is a command line set of

follows the design of the ssh-agent and, as such, it can be easily integrated in the
user's flow. However, current version only covers Linux and MacOS users. This activity
would port the oidc-agent to Windows OS. The expected impact is potentially large, since
users from many communities that may use this tool (such as HPC, or any community that
need constant access to computing and storage resources as part of their work) typically
rely on Windows as their main operating system. This activity investigates the best
approach to porting the oidc-agent.

<p class="card-text">
Many research collaborations as well as campus services need a solution to deal with guest
identity, as in many cases not all users are members of the academic Identity Federations.
As a result, several federation operators as well as research collaborations operate IdPs
or proxies to allow users to authenticate through external identity providers like social
ones. This has led to serious reinventing of the wheel. This pilot aimed to bring the
widely used ORCID service into the GÉANT IDhub as Identity Provider of last resort.
Furthermore organisational and legal aspects as well as technical improvements were

<p class="card-text">
pyFF is an open source and widely used product which is used to provide Discovery and
Metadata Query services for identity federation. This topic investigates optimizations in
pyFF operations, including but not limited to, performance and memory consumption. When
processing the eduGAIN metadata, pyFF memory usage balloons to the gigabytes, hereby
inflicting some extra cost when running on procured VM's like AWS. The startup/restart
process speed, and service behavior while being started/restarted may also be improved. In
particular, the service should never throw 5xx errors while in a normal startup/shutdown
process.
<br />The goal of this project is to optimize pyFF memory consumption and (re-)start
behavior.

The eduGAIN Support Team, Secretariat and business development received several requests
from SPs, IdPs and NRENs for an eduGAIN Service Catalogue. Currently the eduGAIN Entities
Database tool and REFEDS Metadata Explorer Tool (MET) are the two services closest to a
service catalogue, but there are inconsistencies between the two tools.
<br />
The Incubator attempts to improve the solution based on the outcome of this pilot phase.
Depending on the requirements and use cases that need to be supported, new features can be
added in following an iterative process. If there are not enough participants to provide a
meaningful amount of data, no additional developments will be carried out by the
Incubator. In this case, the software is decommissioned at the end of the pilot phase and
the project is terminated.

<p class="card-text">
The T&I activities of the GEANT project run a multitude of services ranging for eduroam
and eduGAIN to InAcademia, eduTEAMS and various smaller helper services for eduGAIN
without a single overview of the state of all these services. The highly distributed
nature limits our ability to present in a consistent way the status of these services and
it hinders us in explaining issues when something is wrong. This is relevant both for
members of the GEANT community as well as other other stakeholders like service owners and
funding agencies. This activity wanted to create a comprehensive, high level and user
friendly publicly facing service dashboard for T&I services. Since many freely or
commercially available services for measuring availability already exist this activity
investigated and compared them to choose a suitable solution for the GÉANT project.

It is currently very hard to test new releases of IdP and SP software against other IdP/SP
products. This activity attempts to design an automated test environment. A suitable
architecture for an IdP/SP continuous integration platform is to be created. This involves
creating use cases and identifying technologies that support them. An iterative approach,
in which use cases are successively implemented and products are integrated one after
another, is intended to quickly create a functional platform. If the CI approach is
successful, ready-to-use software packages can be provided using container technologies
such as Docker, to deploy the entire software locally by NRENs or other parties.

<h2 class="card-title">SSH in a Federated World</h2>
<p class="card-text">
To allow easy access to SSH based services DeiC has made a SSH Certificate Authority
proof-of-concept that issues short-lived SSH certificates based on a federated login. The
system requires no specific client - or service side installed programs and makes it
possible for the user to use all standard ssh services - as long at the certificate is
valid. Depending on the configuration of the participating services the CA allows the user
to use the same username/uid across all services. Optionally it can be combined with
systemd-userdb services to allow for fully automated user management. The CA can also
optionally issue host certificates so the users do not have to trust the servers on first
use (TOFU). Initial goal of the activity is to hold a workshop to gather requirements and
showcase and discuss existing solutions.

To make the global eduGAIN interfederation scalable and interoperable, it is paramount
participants adhere to agreed upon standards and community best practices. There are
currently already several tools that examine the quality of federation metadata, the
connection status of their IdPs and the attribute release status of their IdPs. This
activity is about creating a tool to aggregate information from various sources and
presenting this in an attractive, easy to understand way to put this information readily
into the hands of the federation operators.

This activity creates a freely available, realistic test IdP for the GÉANT community.
Based on the needs of the GÉANT community, the solution may offer SAML, OIDC and supports
all the latest best practices. The requirements and use cases for such a service will be
defined in collaboration with a group of community representatives. Potential features of
such a tool are: test for a specific set of attributes, create an account to save a test
profile, an open (REST) API to configure the IdP using a (web) client. There are different
potential business cases for deployment: as part of the eduGAIN support tools, by GÉANT
operations or NREN hosted.

<p class="card-text">
Currently, there is no way for federated users to know at which service providers their
account was used to login. This activity developes a mechanism to track federated signing
in events. That would allow an user to check the recent activity on his account in regards
of authentication. Users could see the list if authentications containing datetime, ip and
relying party etc. That would help them to spot suspicious activity.
<br />
A user profile page deployed as part of Shibboleth IdP and SimpleSAMLphp would enable end
users to gain insight into where their personal data is used and when it was last released
to various services, as far as the IdP is aware. This feature should only release
information to appropriate user (so after login). It needs to be considered how storing
user data to facilitate this plugin would impact data retention policy of the IdP.

<p class="card-text">
Identity provisioning and deprovisioning are a necessity for building modern
authentication and authorization infrastructures. They are straightforward yet technically
complicated part of identity and access management. The basic idea is to deliver identity
and authorization information to the managed services, which is complicated by a lack of
applicable standards in this area. Therefore, most of the Identity and access management
solutions rely on a custom solution for provisioning. To overcome this obstacle, this
project extends existing IAM capabilities by implementing a connector to easily provision
data to services hosted on Windows OS based on SSH.
