A Roadmap for Using NSF Cyberinfrastructure with inCommon
Scoping Questions
- How much fed idm background do we need? Assurance has similar arguments.
Value Proposition Audiences
...
Some view multiple credentials and managing all the certificates for access as part of a researchers job. It doesn't have to be.
How does Assurance help?
Researcher
Story (Ken's Jean Blue Story)
Utilization of federated identity for CI will bring uniformity to the authentication mechanism for science in line with the business processes of doing science.
We help researchers spend more time on their research time and less time on IT.
Allow researchers to more easily collaborate and coordinate multiple resources through a single identity system rather than spending effort on managing multiple identities.
Projects
Allow NSF CI projects to leverage InCommon saving effort spent on establishing their own identity systems.
Utilization of federated identity for CI will bring uniformity to the authentication mechanism for science in line with the business processes of doing science.
Campus IT
Allow campuses and other institutions to provide their researchers with a consistent identity system for local research and administrative computing, and remote research computing.
