Enhancing authentication for trusted access to high performance compute for researchers, government and industry

The Australian Access Federation (AAF) has partnered with the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) to explore improved trust and identity for their researcher, government and industry users.NCI provides expert services in high performance compute (HPC), storage and data, enabling high-impact research and groundbreaking outcomes for Australia. The AAF, as the national capability for Trust and Identity, is collaborating with NCI through funding provided by the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). The strategic goal of the incubator is to enable higher identity and authentication assurance levels (IAL), that will help to improve the identity security posture of NCI.
