The GN4-2 eduTEAMS project conducted a pilot with the deployment of a Stepup Authentication Solution for the LifeScience community.  Many of the research communities eduTEAMS supports are highly distributed over Europe and beyond. 
This project investigates:

One of the challenges this pilot therefor faced was how to deal with the vetting of Second Factor tokens in a distributed way.
This activity investigates together with research communities how the token registration can be scaled for scenarios where participants are distributed over EU and beyond

Please describe the goals of pilot, including activities, participants, the community(ies) that require a solution. Describe when the pilot is done and how to measure the success of it, in a SMART way.

• Investigate and describe existing methods and tooling for token validation, both in R&E and other sectors
• Identify the ones that can be implemented or adopted for use in a distributed environment
• Discuss the Level of Assurance implications of using the various proposed methods
• Discuss the results with relevant stakeholders

Please describe the technical details for this pilot.

What is the business case for this Incubator project? Who would be customers of this solution and what would potential business case look like?

How do data protection and privacy impact this Incubator project? Think about e.g. handling of personal data of users

This activity is completed when:

• A report is delivered identifying and discussing methodologies and tooling for token vetting in the context of a distributed collaboration

Please describe here the set of criteria that the product must meet in order to be considered finished.

When this Incubator project is completed, do you intend to continue using the solution? If yes, can you describe how you intent to sustain it? (E.g. through own staff, by using an e-Infrastructure provider, ...)
