GÉANT Dataprotection Code of Conduct

...

CoCo is used in the eduGAIN interfederation to make services available to users of European higher education institutions. The CoCo makes it possible to automatically release mostly harmless attributes to Service Providers which fulfill the EU Data Protection Directive. The expected IdP behaviour is to release the Service Provider required subset of the attributes eptid, eppn, mail, displayName, scoped affiliation and schacHomeOrganization. The required subset of attributes for a specific service is defined in the mandatory Service Provider Privacy Policy. There is furthermore an identity provider entity support category that should be registered for all IdP that supports the R&S Category that can be used for filter purpose in a discovery service.

For instance, a service that provides tools for both multi-institutional research collaboration and instruction is eligible as a candidate for this category. This category is very similar to InCommons Research & Scolarship Category. The expected IdP behaviour is to release name, eppn, eptid, mail and eduPersonScopedAffiliation only if the services is also in at least one of the safe data processing categories. It is also recommended that static organisational information is released. If the Identity Provider home organisation has fulfilled the requirements for SWAMID Assurance Profiles eduPersonAssurance should also be released.
