IGTF in the Press and in Research Papers

Customarily the IGTF operated 'in the background': supporting collaboration amongst distributed IT infrastructures for research in the areas of security, identity and attribute management, and AAI security best practices. On a few occasions, we will highlight how the IGTF operates, and how identity providers, user communities and relying infrastructures work together to actually achieve this integrated global trust fabric.
