The architecture of the SURFconext Strong Authentication is designed as such that SURFnet can add other authentication tokens in the future. If such a need arises within member institutions, SURFnet will first research technical capabilities of other token solutions and perform a cost-benefit analysis, before deciding if adding the extra token to SURFconext is indeed feasible. Please note that SURFconext Strong Authentication is designed to facilitate strong authentication for cloud applications. As such, for any new token solution to be connected to SURFconext Strong Authentication, SAML2.0 compliancy and cloud based are necessary prerequisites.
Our roadmap already foresees in some activities in 2016 and beyond to explore the possibilities to add other authentication tokens to SURFconext Strong Authentication.
