Trust and Identity Technology Working Group

The Trust and Identity Technology Working Group aims to identify technologies used by research collaborations, to ensure interoperability now and into the future, for a seamless, secure and globally connected research ecosystem.

Ensuring that researchers can easily collaborate across national research organisations, facilities and services is a challenge. To address this issue, the AAF is coordinating a Trust and Identity Technology Working Group. Its purpose is to identify the technology used by research collaborations, to ensure interoperability now and into the future, for a seamless, secure and globally connected research ecosystem. 

The AAF is inviting the community to participate in this working group, where you will play a pivotal role in shaping an effective and enduring national framework for the Australian e-research ecosystem.

Key considerations

The framework aims to guide the operational measures to provide research infrastructure and services securely and effectively, and includes technologies which offer:

User identity
