51What is Shibboleth?(federating software system)
- An architecture and policy framework supporting
the sharing between domains -- of secured web
resources and services - A framework built on a Federated model
- A project delivering an open source
implementation of the architecture and framework - Deliverables open-source, standards-based,
privacy-preserving federating software - (Shib 2.0 targeted for release this summer)
- Software for identity providers (ie, campuses)
- Software for resource/service providers
- Operational Federations (scalable trust)
52Federated Model
- Enterprises provide local authentication and
attributes, namespaces, etc. - Uses a variety of end-entity local
authentication ie, PKI, username/password,
Kerberos, two-factor - Enterprises within a vertical sector federate to
coordinate Levels of Assurance LOA), namespaces,
metadata, etc. - Provides a scalable alternative to multiple
bi-lateral technical relationship management
53Federations Concept
54What is a Federation?
- A coalition of collaborating organizations
- supporting agreed upon policies
- leveraging existing identity and resource
management technologies - to permit fine-grained
- privacy control for online individuals and
- resource protection for a wide variety of online
services and information.
55Federation Fundamentals
- Members sign a contract to join.
- Members must still create Business Relationships
with each other - Bilateral relationships can impose additional
policy - The Federation does NOT
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Collect or assert anything, except the
necessary metadata about member
signing keys, etc. - Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Authenticate end users
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Provide services, though it may be
associated with groups or buying clubs
56Research and Education Federations
- Growing national federations
- UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands,
Norway, Spain, Denmark, Australia, etc. - Stages range from fully established to in
development scope ranges from higher ed to
further education - Many are Shib-based all speak Shib on the
outside - Several million users in the UK between JISC and
BECTA - US Federations
- InCommon
- State-based and University System-based
- Texas, University of California System, Maryland,
etc. - For library use, for roaming access, for payroll
and benefits, etc.
57InCommon
- Which of your critical resources require
protection? - Unpublished research collaboration
- Remote instruments
- Licensed content
- Financial, HR systems
- Which user population requires identity
protection and validation? - Students
