  1. NIH Interfederation Activities and Status: Federal PKI Peter Alterman, Ph.D. Asst. CIO for E-Authentication, NIH and Chair, Federal PKI Policy Authority

  2. NIH E-Authentication Initiative Goals • Researchers use their institutional identity credentials to authenticate to NIH online applications and services • Build a reliable, secure, trusted IT infrastructure that supports e-authentication EDUCAUSE 2007

  3. NIH E-Authentication Initiative Goals • Researchers use their institutional identity credentials to authenticate to NIH online applications and services • Build a reliable, secure, trusted IT infrastructure that supports e-authentication EDUCAUSE 2007

  4. Current NIH Initiatives • Interfederated with InCommon higher education Identity Management Federation at OMB LOA 1: low/no risk applications put online and consume identity credentials issued by universities that are members of InCommon; • Extend interfederation agreement to OMB LOA 2 applications for universities that issue higher-assurance credentials under the InCommon Federation Silver program – for moderate risk applications (ETA 1/08); • Direct trust relationship with University of Texas System Public Key Infrastructure EDUCAUSE 2007

  5. NIH Pilot LOA 1 Applications • NLM Proxy Redirector (initial application ) • Good Clinical Practice (GCP) • Community for Advanced Graduate Training (CAGT) • NIH Login/ADFS/MOSS integration (general collaboration) • More to follow EDUCAUSE 2007

  6. NIH Pilot LOA 2 Applications • Electronic Research Administration (eRA) • caBIG data (via Grid interoperability?) • Firebird (FDA, SAFE, NIAID involvement) • More to follow EDUCAUSE 2007

  7. End State for NIH • All NIH outward-facing, online apps risk assessed and credential LOA requirements determined • Credential validation infrastructure and/or linkages at production operational level • All NIH outward-facing, online apps connected to NIH Login front end with validation service enabling infrastructure (e.g., Shibboleth, etc.) • End State achieved… ???
