Modernizing the approach to student authentication and service access
In this session, two digital identity solutions are presented that provide a modernized approach to student authentication and service access.
Saku Ripatti (Pegasi) will provide a quick lookout on their modular approach to the universal challenge of first time authenticating foreign students from their remote home locations.
Alexander Loechel and Simon Lund (both from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) will present eduTAP, a EUGLOH project digitizing Campus Cards in the Wallet to enabling easy service access for students, staff, researchers, and affiliates at home and host universities while on mobility. This includes an open-source concept and software framework that builds on top of digital wallets and provides service access in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) based on dedicated service passes, as well as defining a harmonized identity document aligning with eduGAIN schemas and attribute definitions. This concept aims to fulfill the vision of the European Student Card, by leveraging the possibilities of smartphone wallets and existing, battle-profed standards for proximity access.
After the presentations, there will be some time for questions and discussion.
