Specific challenge Support to harmonise and/or deploy core e- infrastructure services is crucial for their effective use by both production e- infrastructures and e-infrastructures under

development. Core services are considered

those that 1) enable e-infrastructure interoperation and 2) are common across a broad range of e-infrastructures and research communities.

Core services

SLIDE 9

Core services: scope

Deployment and promotion of a pan-European identity federation for researchers, educators and students, in compliance with existing identity inter-federation efforts (including Eduroam and Edugain). The action will involve (research and education) institutions in EU Member States, existing identity federations, e- infrastructure providers and libraries. It should aim to

vercome technical, organisational and legal obstacles for

the implementation of an integrated and interoperable authentication and authorisation infrastructure (AAI) and to lower barriers for entry of organisations not already participating in identity federations, e.g. by providing scalable policy negotiation mechanisms, as well as legal guidance notably in data protection.

SLIDE 10

It should also encourage the use of security token translation services to enable interoperability of different AAIs, as well as accounting services for enabling interoperability and aggregation in recording the usage of resources securely and reliably, including for the highly distributed heterogeneous infrastructures envisaged for global research data. Guest identities and alternative methods of identification (e.g. social media identities) are encouraged e.g. in order to allow public access at large. Assessment of penetration

f existing identity federations at national level and

development of training activities for data professionals on issues related to AAI enabled collaboration and data sharing (data privacy, intellectual property, cultural barriers, etc.) should be foreseen.

Core services: scope

SLIDE 11

Expected Impact

Improved interoperability of e-infrastructure services and

easier resource access and collaboration between scientists.

Reduced duplication of efforts for common services.
New prospects for advanced services for science and

education, more openness and trust with DIIs

European-wide single sign-on service enabling researchers

to collaborate within secure and trusted virtual research environments where scientific resources and content can be accessed, used, stored and shared.

Increased sharing of information resources at European

level.

Expansive coverage of national identity federations for

network, services and applications. Easier participation in identity federations
