Broadening Asi@Connect knowledge on federated identity

As identity federations have become a central part of the NREN landscape during the past 10 years, with over 70 known identity federations and almost 90 eduroam deployments across the globe serving this sector, the Asia-Pacific region has been largely under-represented in this space.

To bridge the gap, the APAN Task Force on Identity and Access Management (TF-IAM), spearheaded by Terry Smith of the Australian Access Federation, has been holding a series of training events and task force meetings aligned with the Asia Pacific Advanced Network meeting series.
