Touchstone and the InCommon Federation
(08/19/2008) MIT has joined the InCommon Federation. The mission of the InCommon Federation is to create and support a common framework for trustworthy shared management of access to on-line resources in support of education and research in the United States.
Each member of the InCommon Federation must publish a Participat Operating Practices (POP) document. Since MIT is operating two Identity Providers (IdPs) we have to publish two POP documents:
- MIT's POP document
- TouchstoneNetwork.net's (aka CAMS) POP document
