Welcome
The Australian Access Federation Project will develop and deploy an infrastructure to facilitate trusted electronic communications and collaboration within and between higher education and research institutions both locally and internationally as well as with other organizations, in line with the NCRIS objective of providing researchers with access to an environment necessary to support world-class research. This project builds on the Government funded work in the first phase of the e-Security Framework project (based at the University of Queensland) and the MAMS (Meta Access Management System project, based at Macquarie University).
The Australian Access Federation Project is sponsored by the Australian Government's Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR). The funding was provided through the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative (SII) as part of the Government's Backing Australia's Ability - Building Our Future Through Science and Innovation.
The AAF project has developed an animation to serve as an introduction to the concept of federated access management use within the Australian Access Federation. The animation runtime is 5 min 43 sec. If you would like to view the animation in a different format or a larger (better quality) version, please contact the AAF Project Manager on aaf@aaf.edu.au.
