Description of the eduroam Service

The eduroam  service eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.  eduroam allows any user from an eduroam participating site to get network access at any institution connected to eduroam.location that provides eduroam service.

The basic principle underpinning the security of eduroam is that the authentication of a use r is carried out at his/her home institution using the institution’s specific authentication method. The authorisation required to allow access to local network resources is carried out by the visited network

The eduroam roaming consortium is comprised of many legal entities. GÉANT is the body which is responsible for the international coordination and interoperability of eduroam. As such GÉANT operates a number of services for the eduroam consortium on the European level, some of which store data about ongoing usage by end users. Those services at a European level are maintained by eduroam Operations Team (OT). This privacy policy concerns part of the eduroam consortium that is operated and maintained by GÉANT including, but not limited to, the following services: the European international authentication proxy infrastructure, European F-Ticks collection and the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT).
