is NOT the technology, it is the business and, as a result, the key
component is not the infrastructure but the business structure.

•
Standardized Business Agreement – by having a standardized
agreement, you know that every partner in the Federation will live
up to the same standards
•
Standardized Levels of Assurance – you make the decision on
authorization and trust the authentication
•
Plug & Play infrastructure – PDBS will put in place the
appropriate Federation Servers and manage those Servers
remotely.
•
Shibboleth based architecture – PDBS uses the Shibboleth
architecture to allow connectivity to other Federations and to keep
infrastructure costs low.
•
Access to multiple Federation Partners – as the Federation
grows, so does your ability to benefit from it.
•
Privacy driven Federation – The PDBS Federation follows the
Shibboleth requirements for Privacy by having the specific End User

Privacy legislation.
