The IRFED Identity Federation makes it easier to offer shared services across the whole federation. This is accomplished by extending the scope of an electronic identity, issued by any member of the federation, to be valid across the whole federation.

IRFED's Identity Federation Policy specifies the relevant procedures and practices.

Legal Policy document specifies the legal liability between federation members and the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences ( IPM ).

Technology Profiles are describing implementation of the policy in terms of specific technologies.

IRANET maintains the components necessary for operating the federation and also serves as registrar for federation participants. Furthermore, IRANET offers support to participants regarding operational as well as security issues.

Fees

Currently, participation in IRFED Identity Federation is free of charge. Any changes regarding fees will be announced before put in effect.
