A workshop on Identity Management will be held in Cancun, Mexico, on May 28-29, 2014. This workshop – jointly organised by the CHAIN-REDS and ELCIRA EU-funded projects under the aegis of the European Commission (DG CONNECT) – is organised in co-location with the TICAL2014 Conference and will take place at the Krystal Hotel in Cancun.
This workshop will give participants a comprehensive overview of Identity Management, and will focus on the existing solutions based on the Federations of Identity Providers promoted by the eduGAIN initiative.
The workshop will present the opportunities offered by such approach in terms of easiness of access to distributed resources and services. The presentations will address the technical aspects of the implementation of Identity Providers and Service providers.
Specific talks of the workshop will also show examples and current state of the art activities with an introduction to the Persistent Identifier (PID) system.
The workshop is of particular interest for Managers and Technical persons of Computing centres and National Research and Education Networks that want to investigate the opportunities of installing IdP systems and offering Services to Federated IdPs.

This workshop is organised by RedCLARA with the support of Sigma Orionis and all CHAIN-REDS and ELCIRA project partners.
CHAIN-REDS is a project aiming at promoting and supporting technological and scientific collaboration across different e-Infrastructures established and operated in various continents, in order to define a path towards a global e-Infrastructure ecosystem that will allow Virtual Research Communities (VRCs), research groups and even single researchers to access and efficiently use worldwide distributed resources (i.e. computing, storage, data, services, tools, applications).
The ELCIRA project aims to coordinate a series of collaboration tools and services that are being developed in Europe and Latin America in order to provide an interoperability framework that facilitates the work of European-Latin American research teams and to foster collaboration in joint research projects.
The TICAL Conference is the place where the Latin American research and education community come together to share their experiences, knowledge and initiatives, providing significant and unprecedented solutions around ICT topics for higher education institutions.
