14 InAcademia Online student validation InAcademia is a service being developed that simply validates to other services that the user is a student or staff member of the academic community. Helps service providers offer academic discounts online and in real time. A lightweight federated identity process with minimal attribute release (essentially a simple yes/no). Easy for Service Providers to implement. Removes need for scans of ID cards or primitive address-based 'authentication'. 14

18 GÉANT VPN Services MD-V PN The GÉANT Multi-Domain Virtual Private Network (MD-VPN) provides an end-to-end international network service that enables scientists all over Europe to collaborate via a common private network infrastructure. MD-VPN can be used for connectivity between clusters, grids, clouds and HPC (high-performance computing) centres, allowing them to form v irtual distributed resources for third-party research projects. MD-VPN offers fast delivery of VPNs to end users and so can be used in a variety of ways, from a long-term infrastructure with a high demand for intensive network usage to quick point-to-point connections for a con ference demonstration. L3 VPN The GÉANT L3-VPN service provides NRENs with the backbone infrastructure to enable custom VPN services for their users across the GÉANT backbone. 18
