Study overview

Curtis+Cartwright Consulting Limited ( http://www.curtiscartwright.co.uk) has been commissioned by JISC to contribute UK security functionality to the e-Framework. The scope is limited to the security-based developments of the UK federation, the NGS CA and related JISC projects.

The first phase of the study presents an overview of the e-Framework partners' security-based developments, and provides a high-level synopsis of the current UK developments. The second phase will submit UK security developments to the e-Framework, and the final phase will provide recommendations to JISC.

Phase 1: Landscape study

This phase has now been completed.

We hope that the document will:

– promote discussion in the community

– aide the understanding of security in the sector

– be a strawman for how security functionality should map to the e-Framework

The landscape study has been formally reviewed by key stakeholders. Please add your comments/corrections/ideas to this wiki. The next phase is underway so all contributions are appreciated.
