Supporting Federated Multi-authority Security Models

Abstract

The JISC-funded Shintau project has produced an extension to the Shibboleth profile which allows a user to link information from more than one IdP together utilising a custom Linking Service (LS). This paper describes both the application and independent evaluation of this software by the Nationale-Science Centre (NeSC) at the University of Glasgow within the context of the ESRC-funded Data Management throug he-Social Science (DAMES) project.
