[Kantara - Community] Invitation: CERN presentation on Assurance profiles

[Ruth Puente]

Dear Kantara Community,

We have invited CERN to give a presentation about their interesting projects on Authentication and Authorisation framework. Please find the details below. 

Date: Thursday, April 7, 2016 

Time: 10:00am PDT / 17:00 UTC (GMT)

Speaker: Hannah Short, CERN IT Fellow

Presentation: Assurance profiles within the AARC Project

Dial in details will be provided soon

Hannah will focus on the various assurance related activities within the Authentication and Authorisation for Research and Collaboration (AARC), LoA profiles and the Security Incident Response Trust Framework for Federated Identity (SIRTFI), and give a brief overview of the AARC project. 

The AARC project brings together 20 different partners from among National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) organisations, e-Infrastructures service providers and libraries. AARC aims to develop and pilot an integrated cross-discipline authentication and authorisation framework, built on existing AAIs and on production federated infrastructures. More information: https://aarc-project.eu

SIRTFI is a group supported by REFEDS, looking at processes for expressing security incident handling requirements as an assurance profile for federations and other requirements needed to effectively deploy and enhance incident response processes for FIM.
