Hi,

you can find in attachment a paper presenting the GIdP that will be used 
for authentication of the people not having an account on a NREN 
infrastructure.

The GÉANT Identity Provider (GIdP) will be a central common Identity 
Provider for early adopters of GN2 services whose home institution and 
NREN level Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure (AAI), if
available at all, is not yet connected to eduGAIN.
The GIdP helps to solve the 'chicken and egg' problem when using the 
eduGAIN AAI to protect access to GÉANT2 services and resources. The GIdP 
should become obsolete once eduGAIN spans all NRENs, i.e. when all users 
of services offered via eduGAIN have a home institution which is eduGAIN 
enabled.

Nicolas
