  1. eduGAIN – Are we there yet? Lukas Hämmerle (ghost writer, Brook Schofield) FIM4R, Helsinki – 2 October 2013

  2. All About eduGAIN… • Global Authentication INfrastructure • Web site: http://www.eduGAIN.org/ • SAML2-based ("All roads lead to SAML2") • Currently mostly web-based services but non-web services are supported too (e.g. via SAML ECP) • An interfederation service primarily for Research & Education • Connects existing SAML-based academic identity federations • Developed and funded by European GÉANT projects • But open also to non-European federations • Complaints/comments to @BrookSchofield or schofield@terena.org

  3. What is eduGAIN? • eduGAIN provides policy framework and standardsto build trust • SPs and IdPs of participating federations should opt-in for eduGAIN • MDS fetches, aggregates and republishes metadata

  4. Full Mesh Federation • ~80% of all NREN Federations (June 2013) • E.g • InCommon • UKAMF • SWAMID • HAKA • AAF • SWITCHaai • ...

  5. Hub-and-Spoke Federation with Distributed Login • ~15% of all NREN Federations (June 2013) • SURFconext • WAYF.dk • SIR • TAAT • Confia

  6. Hub-and-Spoke Federation with Central Login • ~5% of all NREN Federations (June 2013) • FEIDE • AAI@EduHr

  7. The More "Realistic" Architecture

  9. Some Statistics • April 2011: Official start of eduGAIN • Now: 19 Federations (now also including UK), 6 joining • Current Entities: 143 IdPs, 73 SPsOne IdP can stand for dozens of organisations depending on federation architecture • Whole (academic) SAML landscape:43 Federations, 2390 IdPs, 4654 SPs (gathered from metadata)Not all of them need to be interfederated, e.g. many internal SPs

  10. eduGAINInterfederation Participants 19 eduGAIN Members 6 Joining eduGAIN 5 Candidate Federations

  11. eduGAIN & Federation Status 19 eduGAIN Members 6 Joining eduGAIN 5 Candidate Federations 13 Emerging Federations

  12. Bridging the gab between Fed + Inter-Fed • The team is working on improving these stats: • Policy & Code of Conduct (Mikael Linden, CSC) • Operational Team (Tomasz Wolniewicz, UMK) • Emerging Federations (Brook Schofield/Nadia Sluer, TERENA) • Project Moonshot Pilot (John Chapman,JANET ) • FaaS Study (Marina Vermezovic,AMRES/ValterNordh, SWAMID) • Engaging User Communities (Lukas Hämmerle, SWITCH) • …all complementary GÉANT tasks to support the community. • We’re here @ VAMP, FIM4R & REFEDS • Listening to your suggestions and feeling the fire

  13. What will we continue to do? • Investigate and pilot solutions supporting Data Protection • Ensure we don’t run out of customers (by building more federations) • Too successful at the moment • Convert the success in building federations  eduGAIN participation • Engage with the Research Infrastructure community • Continue to listen… …and learn.
