Identity management toolkit
See the identity management toolkit
Overview
Based on direct experience gained by the project partners in undertaking The Identity Project for JISC, and on current practical work on IdM in-house, the project will produce a Toolkit to meet all identified requirements, with oversight and endorsement from UCISA, RUGIT, ISAF, and JISC Infonet. The main Toolkit document and supporting website will be launched in March 2010 to coincide with annual JISC and UCISA conferences. Before and for 3 months after this, the project team will undertake substantial promotional activities to engage uptake of the Toolkit and awareness of IdM issues with the JISC community, focusing primarily on ICT directors and senior managers.
Aims and objectives
The Toolkit will include a document of similar format to the UCISA Information Security Toolkit
The main Toolkit document will be produced in high quality printed form (for distribution at promotional events and via sponsoring organisations) and as a PDF suitable for on-demand printing and on-screen browsing and reference.
The printable Toolkit will be mirrored by a website that will facilitate structured reference (such as interactive decision trees) to different elements. The website version of the Toolkit will also enable particular elements of the Toolkit to be used as standalone resources.
Project methodology
Initial business analysis will start from outputs and all material available from The Identity Project (TIdP), plus a thorough search of published material and relevant work-in-progress including that available from Internet2 projects such as Grouper, Liberty Alliance and elsewhere.
Testing of the draft Toolkit will be undertaken by the University of Bristol and Kidderminster College, fitting in with existing institutional work plans to undertake improvements in their own IdM practice.
Anticipated outputs and outcomes
The main project deliverables will be the published Toolkit (available both in print and electronically) and the supporting website.
Using feedback from the promotional programme, the project will make recommendations to JISC for further potential work in this area to support community adoption of good Identity Management practice, and more general engagement by institutions in use of the e-Framework.
