Federating e-identities across Europe, or how to build cross-border e-services

چکیده
This work discusses the main challenges and requirements of technical and legal authentication interoperability in eservices involving organizations from different countries. We present the Stork cross-border authentication framework that satisfies these requirements by establishing interoperability between existing European national eID infrastructures in a federated manner. As a sample application, we present the pilot for Student Mobility that has been developed to evaluate and demonstrate the functionality of the Stork authentication framework.
