Some Statistics
April 2011: Official start of eduGAIN
Nov 2013: 21 Federations are members (50%) , 5 joining
Apr 2014: 24 Federations are members (51%) , 6 joining
Entities: 253 IdPs, 117 SPs (369 in total)
One IdP can represent for dozens of organisations and services
depending on federation architecture => actual numbers are higher
Whole (academic) SAML landscape:
47 Federations, 2539 IdPs, 5280 SPs (gathered from metadata)
Not all of them need to be interfederated, e.g. many internal SPs
Numbers from May 2014

Lots of Applications  Lots of Use-Cases
Use Cases are good.
Vast variation in use case requirements aren’t.

Do you really need this?
Does anyone else need this?
In theory, there is no difference between
theory and practice. But, in practice, there
is.

eduGAIN: How can YOU help?
1. Join eduGAIN (if you haven’t) and Publish entities!
2. Use existing use-cases and explore how they support your community
•
GÉANT Data Protection Code of Conduct
•
Entity Categories
3. Offer new use-cases that REALLY HELP a community
•
Flesh it out internally, via the REFEDS community and then wider
4. eduGAIN doesn’t exist in a vacuum
•
We are willing to listen to your ideas… …even the crazy ones!
