Czech academic identity federation eduID.cz

The purpose of the eduID.cz federation is to provide means for inter-organizational identity management and access control to network services, while respecting the privacy of the users. The eduID.cz federation is operated by CESNET.
The main benefits are: users may access multiple applications using just one password under single sign-on, service provider administrators do not have to preserve user's credentials and implement authentication, user authentication is always performed at the home organization, user credenitals are not revealed to the service providers, and the federation infrastructure implements easy, standards-compliant and secure methods for exchange of user information.
Federation members are organizations, which have been completed the registration process. The member organizations may act as identity provider and/or service provider. Our Institute is a federation member as identity provider from December 8, 2013.
