Connecting Universities to the Private Sector through Trust Frameworks
Kazu
Yamaji, associate professor, National Institute of Informatics, Japan
The
Japanese academic access federation, GakuNin, is deploying federated
identify in Japan using the SAML 2.0 standard, primarily with Shibboleth
software. To accelerate its activity, federation focuses on the
additional handshake model with OpenID beyond just operating within the
SAML protocol. As part of this new collaboration, OpenID Federation
Japan (OIDFJ) and GakuNin members have begun to launch a student
identity trust framework (SITF). This talk introduces SITF activities
and how it will establish the identity ecosystem between the two
federations.
