Identity Enhancement (IdE) and Access Control Project
In late 2014, the AAF and NeCTAR project worked closely to develop the Identity Enhancement and Access Control Project. The project activities will assist with identity enhancement and access which will support the identification and authentication of end users as ‘researchers’.
The project is expected to complete mid-2015, and will allow NeCTAR funded Virtual Laboratories and other AAF connected services to use a ‘researcher’ attribute to make informed access control and sharing decisions specifically for researchers.
The IdE will enable resource owners to improve researcher access to resources such as computer facilities, data and other research infrastructure, at their home institution and at other Australian institutions, all with one set of credentials.
