Federation Use university identity for external service access for web resources, using SAML standard Internet2 Shibboleth federation software widely deployed R&HE Federations create trust communities agree on standards, vet institutions, exchange keys InCommon Federation in US many national R&HE federations in Europe and Australia global service providers (eg Elsevier, Microsoft) join work starting on global interfederation
Other Identity Collaborations eduroam access to university wireless for HE visitors 802.1x and RADIUS technology deployed throughout Europe and Asia/Pacific grid supporting large e-science projects X.509 technology IGTF provides global linkage of grid CAs work on linking grid access to SAML/Shib federation
