  1. Discovery and Federated Identity

  2. Topics • Life today and the pull-down list from Hell • Hints at the wrong layer suck • The importance of keeping the continuity of experience • Staying with the story • How does the likely path of interfederation affect discovery

  3. Life Today • Workarounds • Initiating at the IdP – e.g. PSU get to NIH through the PSU research web site. • Hand out Per-IdP URLs (e.g. Google) • Assume one IdP, "click here if you're a weirdo" in its login UI • Models • SP/Embedded – e.g .Elsevier • Centralized/Shared • SP-centric - e.g. NIH Federated Login gateway vs. federation/IdP centrice.g. WAYF, InCommon

  4. Moving from /etc/hosts to interfederation Connecting autonomous federations Critical for global scaling, accommodating state and local federations, integration across vertical sectors Has technical, financial and policy dimensions Technical solutions include eduGAIN and MDX Policy activities in eduGAIN, Kalmar2 Union, Kantara, Terena

  5. MDX – metadata exchange protocol Institutions and organizations will pick a registrar to give their metadata to Institutions and organizations will pick an aggregator (or several) to get their partners metadata from Aggregators exchange metadata with each other and registrars If this sounds like DNS registration and routing, it is, one layer up

  6. PEER Big Picture

  7. Implications for discovery • So many IdP’s… • Can sub-select at the SP • Can get sticky at the SP • Discovery for non-web apps • Pop up a browser • Sticky on the device (cookie, cert,…)
