The eduGAIN Security Working Group membership is open to:
New members that do not work for an eduGAIN Identity Federation must receive the approval of two participating Identity Federations before being added to the group.
Members must be able to commit to attending eduGAIN Security Working Group meetings on a regular basis, providing input to the eduGAIN Security Working Group deliverables and support the implementation of security practices from their group in national federations and eduGAIN.
The initial goals for the group for 2021/22 are:
The group will adhere to the processes defined for eduGAIN Working Groups when socialising and approving outputs.
The group will have a lightweight annual workplan to ensure that these goals are being met.
REM: (SG) security service to be defined together with the edugain community, and a mandate covering the services given to the sec team by eSG.
REM: (SG) not sure if reactive and proactive communication can always be clearly recognized, at least it will add complexity. I would go with one default communication method, which then is also monitored by the participants.
There is no time limit set for this group. Goals and objectives for the group will be reviewed annually.
The Working Group will be supported by the eduGAIN Secretariat. Tools available:
More secure methods of communication may be included as the group develops.
