AARC TREE

The AARC TREE project takes the successful “Authentication and Authorization for Research Collaboration” (AARC) model and its flagship outcome, the AARC Blueprint Architecture, as the basis for the next phase of integration for research infrastructures. Over its lifetime, AARC will define common strategies for the development, deployment and sustainability of AAIs to improve access and sharing of scientific resources, and interoperability among research infrastructure communities across thematic areas.
Cineca contributes to the definition of: i) guidelines with the aim to harmonize the expression of community user attributes; ii) authorization guidelines and best practices to enable more efficient sharing of federated resources; and iii) guidance on the use of decentralized identities. In the contribution to the requirements, Cineca also represents Fenix where the use cases for cross-sites resources (e.g. the Human Brain Project) are the driver for federated access to support research.
