Proxy Web Servers and Authentication > Future Developments > Project Shibboleth

What it means for us?

• Information providers and network infrastructure groups come to an agreement (a protocol) on how to exchange authentication, authorization, and demographic information.
• The user is in control over how much information is released about himself or herself on a provider-by-provider basis.
• Eliminates the use of proxy servers for remote resource access.
• Enhance statistics to include what demographic group is using what resources.
