  1. On the Many Ways to Identity ExchangeDigital identities are more valuable as they are more widely assertable Diego R. Lopez, RedIRIS

  2. The Open Fronts • Life beyond SAML • OpenID and “Identity 2.0” • OAuth and JWT • Seeking for meeting points • eIRG • STORK • eduGAIN, PEER, MDX, … • AAI convergence and STS efforts • Sort of Proxying • Inner access: TERENA SPP • Outer access: Proposal to REFEDS

  3. The twodotosphere • MACE’s WG on OpenID • https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/OpenID/Home • Guidance, toward some degree of standardization • Examine the demand for, and applicability of, SAML/OpenID gateways • Integrating identities both ways • Logins4Life • Social authsources • social2saml.org • SIR-enabled Facebook groups • Social discovery services

  4. Tokens and token formats • OAuth2 consolidating • Several rather mature I-Ds making their way up in IETF • And proposals based on it • UMA, inside Kantara • REST token-based access, inside GN3 • JWT: JSON Web Token • Intended for space constrained environments • HTTP Authorization headers • URI query parameters • Simpler to code and parse • OAuth2 AP: http://www.rediris.es/oauth2/ • JWT: Proof-of-concept for SIR-REST integration

  5. Higher Convergence • STORK progressing • Proposal for making EC services STORK-aware • Seeking for new use cases in academic space • Lever for integration with governmental infrastructures • eIRG on AAIs • Convergence in academic space a key issue • Federations as the main enablers • Integration with the wider Internet • A long way to go, policy-wise • Acknowledgement to TERENA and REFEDS role

  6. Lower Convergence • Metadata aggregators • PEER (not) vs. eduGAIN • Several services integrating federations and Grid PKIs • Watch Chris’ talk on this • Convergence at the WS level: STS • SURFNet experiments and CLARIN interest • EMI-EGI initiative • GEMBus STS (soon to be demonstrated) • EUGridPMA to explore policy aspects

  7. The Identity Swiss Knives • Proxying is a wide concept that can address solutions to a wide variety of issues • Simplify management • See Dick’s talk • Increase federation usage • The most usual application • Boost privacy • Only provide an IP to access resources • Enhance user experience • Resolvers and deep-linking • Expanding applicability • WS-based interfaces and non-Web clients

  8. A Proposal for REFEDS Funding • The goals • Remote federated proxy administration • Centralized configuration of proxy meshes • Non-Web clients in third party WS environments • Neutral link resolution and deep linking • The technologies • EZProxy • Apache2 proxy capabilities • The players: WAYF and RedIRIS
