Description
- Develop user-centric identity federation: user-managed access.
- Engage with federations on the principle of user-managed access, not only technically, but also reflecting the principle that the user is the resource owner and should therefore be in control of their own “data”.
- Develop pilots based on eduKEEP- and eduID-like approaches, currently at TRL 6–8 in various national developments, to enhance to scale for international interoperability.

Internal deliverables for period M1 to M18 (Deliverable D9.3):
Create overview, use-cases and solutions | Internal | M10 | | Make an overview of all user-centric identities and/or national long-term academic identities. Compare their use cases and solutions concepts. Brief list of consideration on the overview: - how we find the countries that do have user-centric identities initiatives?
- REFEDS could be a place where to ask
- what should be reported for the use-cases and the solutions?
- questions about "how" the related issues are going to be faced
- how important is the "why" there are user-centric identities initiatives?
- distinguish among:
- R&E Federation identity centralization initiatives (like the Swiss one);
- Account linking towards eGOV identity
- one of the way we can read the user-centric identies approach:
- from Identity providers to Attribute providers
- important issues: the quality (of assurance) of the attributes
