Topic: Shibboleth

Normal time and location: LTEF meetings are from 1:30pm to 3:00pm on the second floor of Mann Library.

February 21, 2006 (Tuesday)

Host: Marcy Rosenkrantz <mr41>

Shibboleth is being explored as a possible solution for Cornell. It is a way to secure online services and to allow for access to restricted digital content. It leverages campus identity and access management infrastructures to authenticate individuals and then sends information about them to the resource site, enabling the resource provider to make an informed authorization decision.
