<h1 id="about">About samlbits.org</h1>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> is a community-driven effort to provide global availability to identity federation technical trust components - notably SAML metadata. We are currently in the process of establishing sites at key locations across the globe. Global availability of technical trust components is critical for interfederation: the process of connecting islands of local trust to form a global trust infrastructure.</p>

<h2 id="theproblem">The Problem</h2>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> adds a cache- and global availability layer to the trust fabric of SAML-based identity federations. At scale, SAML-based identity federations often use SAML metadata to manage technical trust beteween federation members.</p><p>Making SAML metadata available 247 becomes critically important.</p>

<p>Since the trust model is typcally based on signing SAML metadata rather than on transport security, performance and availability can be improved by by adding a caching layer. <strong>This is where samlbits.org comes in.</strong> Using proven web-caching technology and geo-aware DNS borrowed from the pool.ntp.org project, samlbits.net turns a locally signed SAML metadata file or MDX endpoint into a globally cached, highly available resource.</p>

<h2 id="using">Using the CDN</h2>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> assignes to each hosted resource a <em>CDN identifier</em> which can be used to reference the hosted site directly. For instance <em>edugain</em> is the CDN identifier for the eduGAIN MDS and so <a href="http://edugain.cdn.samlbits.net">http://edugain.cdn.samlbits.net</a> provides access to the eduGAIN MDS. In addition the CDN supports the <code>Host</code> header and serves the Kantara Trust Registry site when <code>Host: trust.kantarainitiative.org</code> is a request header. Use either mechanism or both together!</p>

<p>Send an email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">leifj at mnt.se</a> to get your SAML metadata resource hosted by samlbits.org and listed in the table below:</p>

<tr><th>CDN identifier</td><th>Description</th><th>CDN URI</th></tr>

<tr><td>edugain</td><td><a href="http://www.edugain.org">eduGAIN</a></td><td>http://edugain.cdn.samlbits.net</td></tr>

<tr><td>DiscoJuice</td><td><a href="http://discojuice.org">DiscoJuice</a></td><td>https://cdn.discojuice.org</td></tr>

<tr><td>CAF</td><td><a href="https://caf-shib2ops.ca/CoreServices/">CAF</a></td><td>http://caf.cdn.samlbits.net/CoreServices/</td></tr>

<h2 id="howitworks">How it all works</h2>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> draws on ideas from the pool.ntp.org project to combines a simple distributed monitoring system combined with a geo-aware DNS server and an array of web caches. These components are located across multiple sites and there is no single point of failure.</p>

<h2 id="opensource">Open Source</h2>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> runs completely on OpenSource software. Some components are developed by the project:

<ul>

<li><a href="http://github.com/samlbits">puppet modules & other tools</a></li>

<li><a href="http://github.com/leifj/python-dnslb">python-dnslb: the monitor-system used by samlbits.org</a></li>

<li><a href="http://pyff.io">pyFF: an MDX server</a></li>

<h1 id="sponsor">Sponsor samlbits.org</h1>

<p><b>samlbits.org</b> is currently looking to establish sites in Asia, Africa, US West Coast and additional sites in Europe - sponsor the project by providing co-location facilities and/or server infrastructure. You can also sponsor by donating other resources to the project. The co-location facilities should be well connected to the Internet and need to have both ipv4 and ipv6 connectivity. Send an email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">leifj at mnt.se</a> if you are willing and able to help.</p>
