A privacy and security aware mailing list manager, perfect for allowing closed groups to interact on the Internet without interference from outsiders and former insiders.
Shibboleth is a combination of software and a federated trust model to support the sharing of resources between institutions such as Universities. Shibboleth was originally developed by the Internet2 group and is being tested and explored by a number of JISC projects (such as IAMSECT) to assess its suitability within the UK. The Shibboleth software, as of version 1.3, is licenced under the Open Source Apache licence, 2.0. See also Internet2, Open Source.
an initiative to develop an architecture and policy framework supporting the sharing of secured web resources and services across multiple institutions.
Federated identity management solution from Internet2/MACE (Middleware Architecture Committee for Education), which is the name of the architecture but also the name of its opensource implementation.
An Internet2/MACE project that is developing architectures, policy structures, practical technologies, and an open source implementation to support inter-institutional sharing of web resources subject to access controls. http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/index.html
An Internet2 project to define an architecture that uses a SAML-based method of allowing users to access online resources. Authentication is devolved to the user's organisation - the Identity Provider - which passes attributes to the Service Provider. These attributes enable the Service Provider to make authorisation decisions. Further information: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu The Internet2 Shibboleth group also develops software that implements the Shibboleth architecture. This software is also known as Shibboleth.
An open source implementation to support inter-institutional sharing of web resources subject to access controls. Also developing a policy framework that will allowinter-operation within the higher education community (with 'federated' administration). http://shibboleth.internet2.edu
A project of Internet2/MACE to develop architectures, policy structures, practical technologies and an open-source implementation in support of interinstitutional sharing of Web resources subject to access controls. In addition, Shibboleth will develop a policy framework that will allow interoperation within the higher education community. http://shibboleth.internet2.edu
The name of an architecture and an open source software developed by Internet2/MACE (Middleware Architecture Committee for Education). Shibboleth is based on SAML and allows the implementation of an AAI. SWITCHaai makes use of Shibboleth.
Shibboleth is an Internet2 http://middleware.internet2.edu/ Middleware Initiative project that has created an architecture and open-source implementation for federated identity-based authentication and authorization infrastructure based on SAML. Federated identity allows for information about users in one security domain to be provided to other organizations in a common federation. This allows for cross-domain single sign-on and removes the need for content providers to maintain usernames and passwords.
