• Integration Activities – open management tools,
use of virtual, federated and hierarchical
organizations, enabling common applications with
core middleware
60
61
Internet2 Middleware:
Key Concepts

enterprise broker most services (authentication,
authorization, resource discovery, etc.) in inter-realm
interactions
• Develop a consistent directory infrastructure within R&E
• Provide security while not degrading privacy
• Foster inter-realm trust fabrics: federations and virtual
organizations
• Leverage campus expertise and build rough consensus

65
What is Shibboleth? (Biblical)
• A word which was made the criterion by
which to distinguish the Ephraimites from
the Gileadites. The Ephraimites, not
being able to pronounce “sh”, called the
word sibboleth. See --Judges xii.
• Hence, the criterion, test, or watchword
of a party; a party cry or pet phrase.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
66
Shibboleth Architecture
67
Shib Development Milestones
• Project formation - Feb 2000; process began late
summer 2000 with bi-weekly calls to develop
scenarios, requirements and architecture
• Linkages to SAML established - Dec 2000
• Architecture and protocol completion - Aug 2001
• Design - Oct 2001

• v1.4 Q1 2006 WS-Fed compliant
• v2.0 likely end of the major evolution
68
Current Status: Shibboleth v. 1.2.1
• Open-source, standards-based, privacy-preserving
federating software
• Accelerating deployment globally: federations in
Switzerland (SWITCH), Finland, Netherlands, United
Kingdom (three), Australia, US (InCommon, NSDL,
InQueue); interop initiative in League of Federations
• Commercial information providers in production:
Elsevier Science Direct, OCLC, etc.
• Working on Underlying Attribute Authority GUI and
resource protection
• Growing international development interest providing
resource manager tools, email list software, etc.
69
What are Federations?
• Associations of enterprises that come together to
exchange information about their users and
resources in order to enable collaborations and
transactions
• Enroll and authenticate and attribute locally, act
federally.
• Uses federating software (e.g. Liberty Alliance,
Shibboleth, WS-*) common attributes (e.g.
eduPerson), and a security and privacy set of
understandings
• Enterprises (and users) retain control over what
attributes are released to a resource; the resources
retain control (though they may delegate) over the
authorization decision.
• Several federations now in construction or
deployment
70
Policy Basics for Federations
• Enterprises that participate need to establish a trusted
relationship with the operator of the federation; in small
or bilateral federations, often one of the participants
operates the federation
• Participants need to establish trust with each other on a
per use or per application basis, balancing risk with the
level of trust
• Participants need to agree on the syntax and semantics
of the information to be shared
• Privacy issues must be addressed at several layers
• All this needs to be done on scalable basis, as number of
participants grow and number of federations grow
71
Federation
•
•
•
•
A permanent federation for the R&E US sector
