AARC: First draft of the Blueprint Architecture for Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructures
This work provides a foundational framework for research communities to enhance secure and integrated access across disciplines, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing AAIs.
The AARC project developed a high-level blueprint architecture for interoperable authentication and authorization infrastructures (AAIs) to address cross-discipline access challenges, building on existing federated systems.
AARC (Authentication and Authorisation for Research Communities) is a two-year EC-funded project to develop and pilot an integrated cross-discipline authentication and authorisation framework, building on existing authentication and authorisation infrastructures (AAIs) and production federated infrastructure. AARC also champions federated access and offers tailored training to complement the actions needed to test AARC results and to promote AARC outcomes. This article describes a high-level blueprint architectures for interoperable AAIs.
