Funded by the JISC Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Programme (06/02).
The Joint Information Systems Committe funded LSE to address two key issues within the Access Management arena:
- An institution-wide deployment of PKI and authentication using personal digital certificates.
- The creation and operational use of Web services and directory components to enable cross-domain access management, implementing essential 'shared services' elements of the JISC Information Environment.
SECURe built on existing JISC investment in tools and infrastructure, in the ANGEL Project and the pilot installation of Shibboleth software at LSE. Both elements of the project have been fully evaluated, documented and disseminated to the HE/FE community as full-scale models for other institutional deployments of certificate-based authentication and authorisation.
For more information, please contact the project team.
The SECURe Documentation site, detailing the implementation process, is now available.
