How important it is for you that...
Identity concept
- account belongs to an individual
- and s/he is traceable (i.e. the home organization knows and can reach him/her)
- and Home Organisation is willing to penalize him/her
- that you (as an SP community) can block him/her from the service
- user identifiers are persistent and not reassigned
- user identifiers are shared (i.e. not pairwise/targeted)
Initial proof of identity
- the home organization has a documented identity vetting process
- the identity vetting process is f2f or equivalent
On-line authentication
- passwords
- passwords with quality quarantees? (What?)
- two factor authentication
Would you like to use step-up authentication as a service?
- if it costs you money
- if it costs you work (operating a registration authority)
Freshness of user data
- accounts are closed as an individual departs? How promptly?
- edupersonaffiliation is updated as an individual departs? How promptly?
Provenance of the identity and authentication
- Is it enough that the Home Organisation self-asserts the above?
- plus someone who has some enforcement rights (e.g. can remove “compliant” tag from the HO)
- also internal audits needed?
- also external audits needed
---
Do we want to mix these things here
- attribute population; which attributes the Home Organisation populates for users
- attribute release; which attributes the Home Organisation is willing to release
