eduGAIN is a GÉANT service, that creates a paneuropean identity confederation for the research and education environment.

eduGAIN aggregates metadata from participating federations in a secure way, enabling the exchange of identity and authorization data between entities from these federations. The participation scope is at federation level, while endpoints must belong to a federation in order to use eduGAIN; RedIRIS participates through its SIR Identity Service.

The inclusion of SIR in eduGAIN is defined in the following resources:

• About eduGAIN: Poster presented at the Internet2 Spring Members Meeting 2010
• Metadata Registration Practice Statement in SIR
• eduGAIN Policy Declaration
• SIR metadata for eduGAIN
