Description
The Australian BioCommons and the Australian Access Federation (AAF) are building a trust and identity infrastructure for an Australian genomics research federation that can interface with international initiatives like ELIXIR and the NIH. The project has become a catalyst for introducing advanced federation solutions like the AARC Blueprint Architecture to support the needs of 33,000 Australian life science researchers.
The presentation discusses:
- how using CILogon to create demonstrator environments has helped explain enigmatic authentication and authorisation concepts and generated buy-in from stakeholders;
- steps toward an operational sustainability model for an Australian deployment of this trust and identity infrastructure.
