People Responsible: Klaas Wierenga, SURFnet and David Simonsen, UNI-C
Aim of this work item
The growth of eduroam has brought on board other countries, like Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. Some preliminary tests to join eduroam have also been performed by Internet2. The Grid community has expressed a lot of interest in using eduroam and some studies are ongoing to verify the possibility of using Grid collaborative environment (managed by Virtual Organisations) to provide users authentication.
If this makes eduroam attractive and successful, it opens other problems related to the way the trust is build among the various parties and how the policy model should work.
TF-Mobility is working closely with the Asia-Pacific, the American and Grid research networking communities in order to build a model that could allow different eduroam (con)federations to peer with each other.
