As part of the eduGAIN Strategy, we are committed to improving the basic standards of security, authenticity, accuracy and interoperability of metadata within eduGAIN and to providing greater consistency in information held about entities in eduGAIN.
For this to be achieved, a GOAL was set to improve the baseline standards for security, data protection and assurance across all entities published to eduGAIN.
As part of the proposed roadmap for delivery the eduGAIN Strategy, a phased approach has been proposed to improve the quality of data in metadata.
| Security | Privacy | Assurance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Introduce security contacts and commitment to incident response for federations | Require privacy notice and completion of mdui:PrivacyStatementURL for all enties | require expression of RAF information |
| 2 | Introduce security contacts and commitment to incident response for all entities | require expression of identifier uniqueness | |
| 3 | Introduce Sirtfi for all entities | require minimum RAF level |
