(Carnegie Mellon, Russell J. Yount <rjy@cmu.edu>)
We are working towards using incommon, openid and other future social authentication systems to provide access for what we are terming "Low Level Of Assurance" access. Our first application to use this is for parental accounts. We would like to enable access to student billing information to parent whos children have enabled permission.
The model we have decided on will send an email invitation to parents to register with using one of a number of openid providers or incommon federation identity providers. We are using this model as we believe students are more likely to know their parents email address than know their parents openid.
The implementation will be done with gateway service which will provide a CMU created identities within local CMU shibboleth federation which are the translation of the openid or other provider's identity. InCommon federation identities will be used directly.
