Program Summary
Objectives of the Program
- Establish a trusted, global identification system that includes the entire USF community: students, alumni, faculty, staff, vendors, guests, and contractors.

- Integrate multiple access mechanism into one set of credentials, minimizing the need for multiple IDs and multiple passwords used on different systems.
- Create federated and single-sign-on systems that will allow cooperation and enhance research opportunities between USF and other Universities around the world.
