Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, opportunities for various collaborative activities among universities are increasing. In this research, I aimed at the realization of the authentication infrastructure among universities that users can use information systems held by each university safely and securely. I carried out establishing of the mechanism which can selects the appropriate level of authentication method in accordance with the importance of the each information system in consideration of the convenience of users.
