Part I - Assessment of the state-of-the art of the current Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructures (AAI) for e-Science (Objective 1)
This part will cover the rationale (mostly in the context of the added value for science and society) for building an AAI and will compare scalability, governance (and stakeholders), policies and the widely used technologies; an evaluation of how existing AAI deployed for research and education (in Europe and beyond) could also be used to support other sectors will be provided as well.
...
Part II - Existing and emerging infrastructures analysis to address identified use-cases identified in Part 1.
A strengths and weaknesses study (SWOT Analysis) of the existing infrastructure to support the identified use-cases will be carried out (Objective 2).
This part of the study will also describe scenarios that would benefit from an integrated AAA and evaluate options to deliver an integrated and manageable AAA/AAI for SDI (or e-Infrastructure).

The interim report will include initial set of use-cases collected by partners, in particular:
(i) LIBER and DEENK will collect the requirements from the library, the archive and the humanity communities on data access, data management and governance, data curation and long-term preservation as well as on AAA.
(ii) TERENA and UvA will collect to requirements from the e-Science and to the networking communities.
