Generic AAA
The concepts of Generic AAA are described in RFC2903 (Generic AAA architecture) and RFC2904 (Authorization Framework). Headed by Leon Gommans, several group members of the Advanced Internet Research Group at University of Amsterdam are researching the Generic AAA principles in both a formal and empirical way. The outcome of this research is aimed at developping a Web Services Architecture-based open source toolkit using J2EE that will enable application developers to incorporate Generic AAA functions as part of the workflow management within a Grid environment. The research uses the problem of on demand provisioning of network connections across multiple domains as a proof of concept. The research provides input towards standards bodies such as the IETF, IRTF and GGF.
