AARC offers consultancy to research collaborations (in AARC and beyond) to help them pilot a suitable AAI that meets their needs and that is compliant with the AARC Blueprint.
AARC2 Results in 2017-2018
- AARC Bluepring Architecture - The Blueprint Architecture delivered by AARC1 was one of the foundations for the AARC2 project to build upon. AARC2 has continued to work on the AARC Blueprint Architecture (AARC BPA), which is still a great achievement. This has been and will remain for some time a cornerstone for those in charge of designing an AAI for their research collaboration. Beside working on a new version of the BPA that will be available by June 2018 (and will be more research community oriented), there has been ongoing work on the technical guidelines, as well as on the policy aspects. The latter is being address via the AARC Policy Toolkit which is being developed; this to address security and privacy aspects related to the AARC BPA.
- Documents - , guidelines and policy frameworks
- Deliverables and milestones - These documents were defined as part of the AARC2 description of work.
- The list of deliverables and milestones for Y1 is available on the wiki as well as on the AARC site.
- Acceptable User Policy Template and Incident Simulation Report
- Guidelines - AARC2 produces different guidelines to support the deployment of the AARC BPA in research collaborations and to address interoperability across infrastructures. AARC2 produceded in Y1 6 guidelines (DOI:
AARC-G021 Exchange of specific assurance information between Infrastructures
AARC-G029 Guidelines on stepping up the authentication component in AAIs implementing the AARC BPA
AARC-G031 Guidelines for evaluating the combined assurance of linked identities
AARC-G040 Preliminary Proxy Policy Recommendations (application to the LS AAI)
AARC-G041 Expression of REFEDS RAF assurance components for identities derived from social media accounts
AARC-G042 Data Protection Impact Assessment - an initial guide for communities
- Deliverables and milestones - These documents were defined as part of the AARC2 description of work.

- Training - Training events for the research collaborations participating in AARC and infoshare are organised as needed.
- Engagment with other bodies - AARC2 sponsors active participation in different international initiatieves such as REFEDS (where Sirtfi and Assurance topics are discussed), FIM4R (where research communities requirements are discussed) and IGTF (where R&E relaying parties meets to discuss policy coordination).
Where and how is AARC2 work promoted?
