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, email, 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.
