IDEM GARR AAI: MDQ Embedded Discovery Service Integration
Description
Service Provider use Embedded Discovery service (EDS) to allow users to select the identity provider of their home organization to access federated services. The information needed by an EDS are extracted by a metadata aggregate, provided by identity federation. The continuous growth of eduGAIN, that increased the size of the aggregates distributed by the participating federations, has already brillantly solved by MDQ Protocol but, without the aggregate, the EDS used by the most popular SAML frameworks can't be fed anymore.
IDEM GARR AAI Federation presents its own solution for Shibboleth and SimpleSAMLphp EDS based on a JSON Web Token (JWT).

Argus - an aggregated Alarm Console
Description
Argus is an open-source tool for NOCs and service centers to aggregate incidents from all their monitoring applications into a single, unified dashboard and notification system. Most NOCs will, out of necessity, use a myriad of applications to monitor their infrastructure and services. In turn, they need to contend with manually managing notification profiles and monitoring dashboards in each individual application. Argus mitigates these scenarios by providing the NOC with a singular overview of actionable incidents, and by providing a single point of notification configuration. Argus is developed by Sikt and Sunet, supported by GÉANT. More info: https://wiki.geant.org/display/NETDEV/Argus

GigaSOC: Machine Learning applied to detect cyberattacks on MRENs
Description
Due to the impact and recurrence of cyberattacks over the last years, cybersecurity has been a relevant concern for society. Timely detecting cyberattacks on Metropolitan Research and Education Networks (MRENs) may play an important role in protecting networks and systems. The GigaSOC project aims to apply machine learning and big-data technologies to store and process network flows in order to detect attacks against the backbone and against networks connected to the MREN. Network flows are extracted on routers and sent to a collector system which stores data into a NoSQL database. Flows are used to provide network visibility and also are submitted to IDS system.

Defining cross-domain, FAIR-oriented procedures and services to enforce data provenance
Description
Work Package 6 of the EOSC-Pillar project delivers use cases to analyze different tools and services used for the "FAIRification". Among them, UC1 aims at elaborating cross-domain, FAIR-oriented procedures and recommendations to enforce data provenance by considering needs coming from two scientific domains: Material Science/Nanoscience and Climate Science. In such a context, W3C PROV standard has been considered a recommended family of specifications. Starting from the W3C PROV data model and ontology, the PROV Core concepts have been applied on top of the existing scientific data services, to enhance provenance capabilities, thus addressing FAIR-oriented full provenance management.

Implementing MFA on Shibboleth Identity Provider using Microsoft 365_Case of NIH Collaboration in Mali and Uganda
Description
The Research and Education FEDerations group (REFEDS) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Profile defines a standard signal Service Providers (SPs) may send to Identity Providers (IdPs) requesting the use of MFA during federated authentication flows. The IdP includes the corresponding signal in its response to indicate that MFA has occurred. The Profile also defines the minimum criteria a second authentication factor must meet in order for the IdP to claim successful MFA.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced in June 2021 that it would require MFA for access to some of its resources. As part of the rollout, NIH would require trusted IdPs to support the REFEDS MFA Profile. As more SPs in the Research and Education community continue to require MFA for federated access, IdPs must implement the MFA profile soon.
This case study will describe the technical implementation details and challenges faced while enabling the REFEDS MFA profile on the Shibboleth IdPs for the NIH International Centers of Excellence in Research (ICERs) in Uganda and Mali using Microsoft 365 for issuing MFA tokens.
