United States (Toll-free): 1 877 309 2073 United States : +1 (571) 317-3129 Access Code: 214-280-925 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.
