Federated ID management working group (Randy)
The Internet2 K20 Initiative has joined with the Consortium of School Networks (COSN), StateNets, Educause, and the Internet2 Commons to help raise awareness and stimulate the adoption of federated identity management beyond higher education and into K12 schools.
The Joint Task Force is headed by Denise Shorey, a COSN board member and Internet2 K20 representative from Colorado.
The mission of the Task Force is to answer several key questions:
- Why should school district CTOs care about identity management;
- What does a CTO need to know about the technology;
- What are the key technology challenges, and;
- How does K12 involvement in identity management impact higher
education, service providers and others?
Several deliverables have been identified and assigned to subcommittees.
