Description
This session delves into recent advancements regarding authentication and authorization in the R&E world. It has three speakers from three different continents each with their own topics: improving access to sensitive datasets, describing the transition to a different authentication method for better security and usability and defining phishing-resistant MFA. By listening to the different perspectives of the three continents, we aim to give insight into research access on a global scale.
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...
This presentation explores how the Australian Access Federation (AAF) worked with the CADRE project to streamline access to over 1,000 social science datasets. The project used REMS and CILogon to implement workflows based around the 5-Safes principles to manage access to sensitive datasets. Attendees will learn how leveraging federations and authoritative attribute sources (e.g. ORCiD) can...
Authentication and authorisation for the High Energy Physics computing grid infrastructure has been based on X.509 certificates since its inception in the early 2000s. In recent years an emphasis has been placed on modernising the stack, facilitating integration with external cloud infrastructure and improving usability and security - all of which have naturally led to a transition to JWT...
