Identity Management Toolkit

April 9th, 2009

With a position on the project board, JISC infoNet is pleased to announce its involvement with the JISC Identity Management Toolkit project.  The project began in January 2009  aiming to provide UK Further and Higher Education (FE/HE) institutions with a toolkit that allows assessment and progression of internal identity management (IdM).  The following outcomes are expected:

  1. Wider awareness of the e-Framework
  2. Greater use of the e-Framework
  3. Improved awareness of IdM issues in FE and HE
  4. Improved IdM practice in FE and HE institutions
  5. Increased use of federated access management (FAM) for single sign-on (SSO) and secure data-sharing

John Paschoud (LSE Library Projects Manager) is managing the project, due to complete in the summer of 2010.  This project will build upon experience gained from the Identity Project (Cardiff University, LSE) with relevant outputs tested by Bristol University and Kidderminster College.  We look forward to keeping you informed of its progress!
