Under the guidance of the InCommon Assurance Advisory Committee, the Federation has adopted a set of Baseline Expectations for Trust in Federation. The intent is to improve interoperability among InCommon Participants and ensure that the Federation has a common level of trust, by establishing expectations that all participants agree to meet.
The core Baseline Expectations document establishes three short lists of expectations expressed at a high level, one for each of three types of Federation actor: an Identity Provider, a Service Provider, and a Federation Operator.
