FAME - PERMIS: Flexible Access Middleware Extensions to PERMIS
The overall aim of the project is to design and develop middleware extensions to facilitate multi-factor authentication and authentication strength linked fine-grained access control supporting a wide range of authentication methods including IP addresses, username and password pairs, and certificate-based soft as well as hard tokens such as smart/Java cards. It will give a user the freedom to use the right authentication token to achieve a required level of authentication strength, or the Level of Assurance (LoA), and feed this LoA to the PERMIS decision engine so as to facilitate LoA linked fine-grained user authorisation and access control.
