Trust and Identity services are a keystone enabling technology for a range of research and education initiatives across Europe and Worldwide.
The key principle of this strategy is to ensure that the GÉANT community continues to be the trusted provider for the T&I services in R&E. The Trust and Identity services delivered by GÉANT, in collaboration with National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), are expected to continue working towards an omnipresent Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) for the Research and Education community. Mirroring the comprehensive reach of network provision, the AAI will be a cornerstone of the GÉANT programme, ensuring it is accessible to every user within the academic and research sphere in Europe. It will provide a pervasive, secure, interoperable and sustainable Trust Fabric, seamlessly integrated with the technological advancements, that supports and empowers a wide array of scholarly and research activities, fostering collaboration and innovation across Europe and beyond.
