Federated Digital Identity IDEM
Description of Federated Authentication Services
IDEM (http://www.idem.garr.it/) is the Italian Federation of Universities and Research Institutions for Authentication and Authorization.
eduGAIN (https://edugain.org/) is the inter-federation of digital identity federations in the research and education community globally.
The objectives of federated authentication are to create and support a framework, common to educational and research institutions, for the shared management of access to online resources, allowing the use of credentials from one's own institution to access web services offered by different federated entities (Service Providers List ).
Users no longer have to undergo burdensome accreditation procedures when accessing resources belonging to these federations.
Each University or Federated Institution (Identity Provider List) provides an authentication service for their digital identities to Service Providers, providing appropriate guarantees and always respecting users' privacy.
Use of Cookies
Thanks to the careful use of cookies and redirections, users enter their username and password only on the website of their home institution (Identity Provider) securely thanks to SSL encryption, thus safeguarding the privacy of their credentials.

The release and content of attributes are subject to user approval upon first access to each Service Provider.
