GARR_AAI
The aim of an Authentication & Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) is to standardize the access to common services amongst different organizations, thus simplifying the procedure required to users.
An AAI manages the authentication and authorization processes between a user, his/her organization and the resource he/she wants to access (i.e. a service supplied by another organization).
AAI is based on a federated model, perfectly compliant to the guidelines of the CNIPA 2007-2009 Triennial Plan for the informatization of the Public Authority (Piano Triennale per l'informatica della Pubblica Amministrazione 2007-2009" del CNIPA): "The confederate state model foresees at par cooperation between the different institutional subjects. This implies the progressive adoption of a federated information system model, where the administrative action is the result of the cooperation between different actors."
The need for a national Authentication & Authorization Infrastructure is growing in Italy as well, in order to facilitate a shared access to digital libraries and education services, such as document delivery, OAI-repositories, e-journals, databases and proxy servers.
The event aims to promote discussion about the creation of an Italian AAI, capable of providing direct access and repeatability on a larger scale to current and future experimentations.
During the event, a few ongoing Shibboleth experimentations to provide access to nationwide services will be presented, including Nilde (document delivery) and e-journals, as well as some experiences carried out in the framework of organizations and projects which integrate the access to digital library services with other services (i.e. managerial-administrative, laboratory resources, proxy, e-learning etc..).
