Identity federation consortium adds members

摘要

InCommon Federation, an identity hub that helps universities securely share resources, brought more schools and service providers to its fold last week and further strengthened its message that sharing identity is essential to securing distributed networks. The federation, which serves as the trusted facilitator and policy setter for identity exchanges among universities and service providers, added 10 universities, four service providers and an independent security provider to its hub. It now has 35 in its federation, which is a model for Internet2 technologies.
