Federated Identity Management Essentials: Eduroam

Eduroam (www.eduroamus.org) allows students, researchers and staff from 
participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity when visiting 
other participating institutions. Authentication is done by the user's home 
institution, while authorization is done by the visited network. Eduroam is 
widely deployed in Europe, and also in Japan, Australia, and Canada. 

This IAM Online will look at efforts to widen deployment in the U.S., led by 
the University of Tennessee. Louisiana State will provide examples of its 
deployment and we’ll hear about the Eduroam working group of the CIC 
(Committee for Institutional Cooperation) schools.
