Identity Management
The CIC Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are committed to supporting a technology framework for sharing applications and resources between member institutions by employing a federated model that allows individuals to securely log in at each CIC university using their campus identification and password. By developing a trust framework and underlying technology that ensures the identities of member institution faculty, staff and students, the opportunity to collaboratively develop and share digital resources is greatly expanded.
The effort is guided by three key objectives:
- Constantly improve the ease with which CIC institutions can federate applications and services between themselves.
- Position CIC institutions to be able to perform ever-increasingly higher stakes online transactions with each other and other organizations relevant to the missions of our institutions.
- Seek opportunities to provide national leadership or take national leadership positions on emerging technologies, practices, and solutions in trust and identity.
The CIC CIOs have charged members of the
Identity Management Taskforce with responsibility for addressing these challenges between now and the end of 2012.
