CILogon Silver CA Accredited by IGTF

Post date: Feb 7, 2011 3:12:10 PM

Today's announcement of the IGTF 1.38 distribution marks the final step in the accreditation of the CILogon Silver CA by the International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF). This follows the approval in October of the CILogon Silver CA Policy by The Americas Grid Policy Management Authority (TAGPMA). The CILogon Silver CA relies on campus authentication that satisfies the InCommon Silver Identity Assurance Profile, so it will not be fully operational until the first InCommon campuses are accredited at the Silver level under the InCommon Identity Assurance program. To serve researchers from campuses that are not (yet) at the InCommon Silver level, CILogon also operates Basic and OpenID CAs at https://cilogon.org.
