Internet2 extends what scholars and researchers can accomplish because identity and access management (IAM) is already integrated across global research and education through a community-developed trust network, single sign-on, and seamless access to cloud and local services.

I travel a lot for work and, personally, and it’s been absolutely amazing to have secure access from wherever I am. It is certainly on another college campus, but I have also found eduroam, based on the same founding principles as InCommon, in unexpected places. It knows me, who I am, and provides me secure access to the internet from wherever I happen to be. It has just been fantastic.
