IRIS is the co-ordinating body of a UK science eInfrastructure and is a collaboration between UKRI-STFC, its resource providers and representatives from the science activities themselves. We describe an ongoing project to build a security policy trust framework suitable for use across the IRIS community using the AARC Policy Development Kit. Derived from existing practice, the AARC PDK aims to assist in efficiently bootstrapping a Research Infrastructure in the operation of an authentication and authorisation infrastructure in line with the AARC Blueprint Architecture, making resources accessible to researchers in an easy and secure fashion.
We document the experience gained to date by the IRIS community in adopting component policies of the AARC PDK to build a trust framework to form a foundation for resource sharing, access and trust for a national infrastructure collaboration.
