28-29/05/2014 - Workshop on Identity Management (Mexico)

A workshop on Identity Management will be held in Cancun, Mexico. This workshop – jointly organised by the CHAIN-REDS and ELCIRA EU-funded projects under the aegis of the European Commission (DG CONNECT) – is organised in co-location with the TICAL2014 Conference and will take place at the Krystal Hotel in Cancun.

This workshop will give participants a comprehensive overview of Identity Management, and will focus on the existing solutions based on the Federations of Identity Providers promoted by the eduGAIN initiative.

The workshop will present the opportunities offered by such approach in terms of easiness of access to distributed resources and services. The presentations will address the technical aspects of the implementation of Identity Providers and Service providers.

Specific talks of the workshop will also show examples and current state of the art activities with an introduction to the Persistent Identifier (PID) system.

The workshop is of particular interest for Managers and Technical persons of Computing centres and National Research and Education Networks that want to investigate the opportunities of installing IdP systems and offering Services to Federated IdPs.
