Dear LoA Colleagues,
The JISC funded ES-LoA project would like to consult with service and
identity providers and Grid/e-Science community for their views on using a
risk-based authentication and authorisation scheme. Such a scheme, built
on top of open standards based middleware such as Shibboleth, would take
into account the level of confidence in users' identification through
their identity and attribute assertions when deciding whether or not to
permit access to a particular resource.
May I invite you to take the time to answer the ES-LoA Survey questionnaire, available
from http://www.es-loa.org/output, by Friday 8th June 2007 - you can either fill in the questionnaire on-line, or
download a copy and email your response
to es-loa(a)manchester.ac.uk.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
BW
