EUGridPMA - Building Trust for Authentication in e-Science

The EUGridPMA is the international organisation to coordinate the trust fabric for e-Science authentication in Europe. It collaborates with the regional peers APGridPMA for the Asia-Pacific and The Americas Grid PMA in the International Grid Trust Federation. The charter document defines the group's objective, scope and operation. It is the basis for the guidelines documents on the accreditation procedure, the Authentication profile for secured "classic" certification authorities and other IGTF recognised Profiles. News and Quick Links Important messages and announcements (such as new distributions of the list of accredited authorities) are carried over the EUGridPMA Announce news service.
