Guideline on the exchange of specific assurance information between Infrastructures (AARC-G021)

Infrastructures and generic e-Infrastructures compose an ‘effective’ assurance profile derived from several sources, yet it is desirable to exchange the resulting assurance assertion obtained between Infrastructures so that it need not be re-computed by a recipient Infrastructure or Infrastructure service provider. This document describes the assurance profiles recommended to be used by the Infrastructure AAI Proxies between infrastructures: REFEDS RAF Cappuccino and Espresso, IGTF-BIRCH and IGTF-DOGWOOD, and a new specific profile addressing assurance partially derived from social-identity sources: AARC-Assam.
