Description

R&E federations are evolving to meet increasing demands for both strong authentication and verifiable identity assurance. This session will provide an update on the REFEDS MFA Profile Working Group’s efforts to refine authentication assurance, including defining “phishing-resistant MFA.” We’ll also highlight InCommon’s work to align the REFEDS Assurance Framework with evolving research and funding agency requirements. Attendees will gain insight into upcoming changes, practical implementation considerations, and how to get involved in shaping the future of federated identity assurance.
