edu-ID

What is an edu-ID?

  • A lifelong, user-centric digital identity for research and education
  • Different forms in different federations
    • SUNET eduID.se (Sweden):
      • Application for university places, enrollment
      • Creation of university accounts
    • SWITCH edu-ID (Switzerland):
      • Central digital identity for the academic sector
      • IdP of the home institution will only be an attribute source in future
      • Change of the federation model: Mesh → Hub-and-Spoke

ZKI working group edu-ID

An open working group was founded at the spring conference of the ZKI AK Directory Services 2019 at the TU Braunschweig,

  • ideally with the participation of members from universities, libraries, research institutions and communities
  • to think about the functionality and scope of a possible edu-ID service and
  • to draw up a corresponding requirements profile

In a further step, an operating and cost model as well as a concept and a roadmap for the technical implementation (should it ever get that far) must then be developed.
