CIFER: IAM Solutions For the Community From the Community

The CIFER project (www.ciferproject.org) goal is to make radical improvements 
in higher education Identity and Access Management (IAM) capability, ease of 
integration, and affordability. CIFER is an agile, comprehensive, federation- 
and cloud-ready IAM solution suite delivered by and for the higher education 
community.

CIFER originated from a collaboration among existing open source 
organizations and builds on existing IAM open source projects. The aim is to 
create a modular, comprehensive IAM solution specific to higher education and 
research. You can find out more about CIFER at the project website (the 
prospectus is particularly informative).

This session will introduce you to CIFER, and also outline ways in which you 
can become involved. It will also showcase how campuses are beginning to use 
CIFER to address the challenges of IAM infrastructure and how CIFER is 
lowering the risks and increasing the benefits.

Please plan to join us! You'll find more information about the presentation 
at www.incommon.org/iamonline.
