Identity Assurance

Levels of Assurance and the REFEDS Assurance Framework

The reliability of digital identities is an essential factor in the trust fabric of an identity federation like DFN-AAI.

The REFEDS Assurance Framework defines how identity assurance information can be transported via values of the eduPersonAssurance attribute. It enables service providers to address particularly relevant reliability criteria separately (if necessary), depending on individual protection requirements. As a internationally recognized standard, the REFEDS Assurance Framework is a key factor for the connectivity of the DFN-AAI in the international context. This particularly concerns the support of research communities that depend on cross-federation collaboration via eduGAIN.

A more detailed presentation (in German) of the facts can be found in DFN-Mitteilungen Nr. 100 starting on page 42.
