This Community is for the UK e-Science CA. The UK e-Science CA is an IGTF CA which issues globally (but not universally) trusted certificates to grid and e-infrastructure participants (hosts and users) in the UK.
The purpose of this community is to collect and coordinate information relevant to the CA for/with the core stakeholders. One of the issues discussed here is the potential migration of the CA to the JANET Certificate Service.
At the request of the Research Councils UK e-Infrastructure group, Janet established a working group from 2013-2016 to support those providing and using e-infrastructure services in achieving an approach that both protects services from threats and is usable by practitioners. More detail about the group can be found in the Terms of Reference
The Working Group published the following papers:
E-infrastructures: Access and Security (summary paper) (Jan 16)Federated Authentication for e...The use of a two factor system to authenticate users to access online services is not new but a topic of great interest to Janet and the UK research and education community. Recently, conversations have taken place across various groups and stakeholders regarding the benefits (or not) of using two factor, and around the various options there exist.
This community group has been set up to create a point where experiences and ideas, and use cases for two factor authentication can be made...

This group has been set up to discuss all topics relating to Networkshop, our network and technology conference.
Project Moonshot is a Janet-led initiative, in partnership with the GÉANT project and others, to develop a single unifying technology for extending the benefits of federated identity to a broad range of non-Web services, including Cloud infrastructures, High Performance Computing & Grid infrastructures and other commonly deployed services including mail, file store, remote access and instant messaging.
The goal of the technology is to enable the management of access to a broad...

The Community group for the Jisc Assent Service launched on 25 March 2015
Jisc, as the service operator, will post things on here relevant to the service but as the website name suggests this is also a space for those interested in the Jisc Assent service and the Moonshot technology to comment on, provide feedback and contribute to anything related.
