Research and Education Working Group (R&E)
The purpose of this working group is to develop a set of profiles for the OpenID Connect specifications to ease the adoption of OpenID Connect in the Research and Education (R&E) sector. The profiles will take into account existing practices of federated identity management in the R&E sector, current international standards to represent users that belong to R&E institutions, as well as the existing international trust fabric based on R&E identity federations.
- Develop a profile for OpenID Connect with specific requirements for security, trust and interoperability in the R&E sector.
- Develop a profile for the use of a specific set of claims related to the R&E sector.
- Develop a profile for extending OpenID Connect entity's metadata to support policy frameworks used in the R&E sector.
- R&E profile for OpenID Connect.
- R&E claims for OpenID Connect.
- Entity metadata extension for OpenID Connect.
The anticipated audience for the documents produced by this Working Group includes developers, deployers, and designers of online services and network agents and devices that can act on behalf of users and organisations in the R&E sector.
The group also anticipates gathering input from identity specialists from R&E organizations in order to respond to their requirements.
Work will be conducted in English.
E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list, regular working group conference calls, and opportunistic face-to-face meetings when a significant number of active members are co-located.
The work will be considered complete once it is apparent that maximal consensus on the drafts has been achieved, consistent with the purpose and scope of the charter, interoperability with at least two independently developed implementations of software based on the profiles has been demonstrated, and the bodies of international organizations relevant in R&E involved in the development have been given the opportunity to consistently express feedback and comments in series of iterations of the drafts (not less than three).
