One of the main achievements of the project is to offer a place where AAI aspects are discussed by different communities. Traditionally, EC projects cluster partners in the same field; AARC instead works horizontally among e-Infrastructures, research infrastructures, libraries and R&E national identity federations.
The main achievements are captured below and grouped per area:
- Training (
https://aarc-project.eu/training/(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie)) –
• Federation 101 module [FED101]
• 3 training for SPs [TRAININGSP] for DARIAH and Elixir
• a plug-fest training for developers [plugfeest]
• train-the-trainer training on attribute release [ATTRELEASE]
• two value propositions training for libraries (see library Toolkit)
• AARC infrastructure toolkit [InfraToolkit],
- Outreach – Beside the website and the leafleat, the project has delivered a number of presentations at relevant events as well as dedicated meeting with key stakeholders, such as libraries, research infrastructures and e-infrastructures
- Architecture – the key concepts of the blueprint architecture have been presented at several events for inputs and validations. These are being incorporated in the blueprint architecture document due at M15. A blog post detailing the progresses is available on the AARC website:
https://aarc-project.eu/aarc-draft-blueprint-architecture-available-for-comments/(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie)- Policy work – Work has been undertaken to produce a Baseline Assurance Level and differentiated assurance profiles, to contribute to the definition of security incident framework [Sirtfi], to write the policy of RCauth.eu CA (since May 2016 IGTF accredited) used for token translation CILogon for Europe pilot[CILogon]. Work has been also undertaken to look at the sustainability aspects of this pilot.
- Pilots – The pilots carried out in AARC can be grouped as follows:
o Technical solutions to facilitate the adoption of federated access among the libraries;
o Token Translation Services (CILogon for Europe);
o Attribute managements
o Test various non-Web solutions (Moonshot, LDAP façade, others)
The results of the pilots will inform further work on both the architecture and the policies work.
