Description
Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructures (AAI) is major area requiring a common global ecosystem for identity and access control across all relevant e-Infrastructures, spanning from EOSC and EuroHPC, but possibly expanding to new areas such as the European Data Spaces and the SIMPL framework. Significant effort has been devoted in this area, starting with blueprint architectures followed up by concrete implementations and adaptors that have been developed. As highlighted in the e-IRG White Paper 2022 following a questionnaire to all major e-Infrastructure-related initiatives, there are multiple providers and more effort is needed to make AAI more user friendly and transparent, especially when using services across all these different service providers. The session will discuss the current developments in AAI and the need for coordination and interoperability across all the different service providers, including EOSC, EuroHPC and EU Data Spaces.
