Description

Activity in the area of Federated Identity Management has been accelerating. 38 national federations have now joined eduGAIN - the interfederation service will shortly encircle the globe, facilitating collaboration worldwide. There are clear benefits, but do those benefits out way the risks and do they make sense for HEP? We will discuss the need for Federated Identity Management and the progress made to date within the HEP community. Specific topics will include an overview of eduGAIN, the integration of eduGAIN within WLCG, and security incident response within federations.
