What’s going on
Federated approaches growing in size (and number!)
Though convergence seems possible
PAPI meets Sun IdM products
Working towards a close integration
Developing IdM for WS
In collaboration with the European industry
Applying some results in diagnostics processing
Spam remediation techniques
Collaborative multimedia content repositories
The federation idea goes one step beyond

3. Federation(s) growth
First tests with commercial providers scheduled for the CBIC federation
JSTOR and Elsevier
Two first IdPs for SAUWoK in operation
WAYF system integrated in the portal
LDAP representation of metadata
Plans for integrating CBIC and SAUWoK
Agreement for federated e-learning project
Association of Southern universities
Specifically intended to be technology agnostic
Contacts with the government
Though they are very much in the PKI mood

4. Collaboration between RedIRIS and Sun Tight, API-based integration
PAPI and Sun AM/FM
Collaboration between RedIRIS and Sun
With the support of the Seville Java Center (CICA)
Tight, API-based integration
Taking advantage of the PAPI-JAAS implementation
Main expected results
Sun AM will incorporate PAPI proxy capabilities
PAPI will incorporate SAML2 support
Will cover both AM/FM and openSSO/openFederation
First demonstration scheduled for the coming RedIRIS Working Groups meeting (June)

5. OSIRIS Security architecture defined
Use cases for the open source implementation of Liberty ID-WSF (OpenLiberty)

6. ESWL and mail diagnostics
ESWL (plus MTAWL) is the Spanish DNS-based mail whitelist
Operated by the ABUSES Forum
Avoid the negative impact of anti spam filters, specially filters using Blacklists
Guarantee interchange between Spanish ISPs
In the process of evaluating diagnostic data aggregators to automatically manage the lists
Commercial: Simplicita
Home made: DESCON II

7. ARCA Agregador RSS para la Comunidad Académica Main goals
Main goals
Harmonize and centralize all the information about available multimedia content.
Up-to-date information
Specially, with respect to changes in each institution programming
Flexibility for participating institutions, so they can change announcements on their own
And keep their own announcement systems
In use by the RedIRIS community
Being evaluated by TERENA (the PEACHES group and others)

8. ARCA: The architecture
The system is divided into channels. A channel represents a source of multimedia content
Every institution is associated with one or more channels
Each channel contains a series of events, retransmissions and/or multimedia contents, called “channel items”
Each institution must generate data about its own channel, as well as data for all the items to be transmitted through the channel
By means of RSS elements

9. ARCA: RSS formats
A general RSS format has been defined, with specific labels for each content type (direct, VoD, podcast)
No single RSS fulfills system requirements, so three different namespaces are in use:
Yahoo media RSS: Data about multimedia content
Itunes RSS: Data about multimedia content and podcasting
Google base events RSS: Announcements of programmed events
The system consolidates into a single database all the information collected from the participating sources
Through this database, information about channel and items can be accessed by means of a calendar, lists, queries, etc.
