This paper seeks to present an overview and some preliminary results of the DAMe project. The main goal of this project was to define a unified authentication and authorisation system for federated services hosted in the eduroam network.
This paper presents the main initiatives and technologies related to the DAMe project and some first designs that show how the main goals are already being achieved.
At present, there are several activities of DAMe in progress, such as the design and implementation of a multiplatform PEAP supplicant, the middleware for managing the SSO tokens and the design of new common services for eduGAIN.
This paper is based on results from the DAMe project and the knowledge of the authors and will be of interest to those in the same field.
