Role |
I offer services to users traditionally managed by providers I know and trust. |
I validate researchers and issue them identities to grant access to services. |
I manage mechanisms to enable participant SPs and IdPs to safely, and in a privacy-preserving manner, exchange information about users. |
I enable researchers to log in at their own institution (IdP) and access services offered by participating federations. |
|
Sirtfi |
I can use Sirtfi to advertise that I am a trustworthy service and covered by an incident response capability. |
I can use Sirtfi to increase the level of trust in my organisation and to establish a channel of communication with services to be used during security incidents. |
With Sirtfi adoption I can increase the baseline trust in my federation and so improve interoperability. |
Supports participating federations in their cross-border incident response. |
