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. 
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

• 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

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
