| summary | EduroAM is a global service for VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) that enables seamless access to resources across multiple research and education networks. It's managed by ICAO (International Centre for Academic Training, Research and Development in Higher Education).
EduroAM operates through a federated identity framework, where users authenticate once with their home institution's directory service and gain access to resources across participating networks without re-authentication. This is achieved using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and the X.509 standard for digital certificates.
The eduroAM Managed Identity Provider (IdP) service allows institutions to manage user identities centrally, simplifying administration and enhancing security. It supports single sign-on (SSO) and cross-domain authentication, enabling users to access resources from different networks with a single set of credentials.
EduroAM is beneficial for both research and education networks, as it facilitates resource sharing, collaboration, and efficiency among institutions worldwide.
Governance of eduroAM is handled by the Aperio Network, which includes over 500 participating organizations from 43 countries. The network's governance structure ensures interoperability, security, and user privacy while promoting best practices in identity management.
eduroAM Tools encompass various software components used to support the service, such as directory services, identity mapping tools, and policy management systems. These tools help maintain secure and efficient operation of the eduroAM infrastructure. |
