This page shorty describes summarises the key commonalities and differences of GEANT CoCo ver 1.0 and 2.0 draft (as per 10 Jan 2019).
...
- Both are binding agreements for the Service Provider who that has committed to it.
- They both consist of 17-18 clauses which express the what the service provider is committing to. The reader can observe many similarities in between the clauses.
- They both use similar SAML metadata constructs (Entity category, RequestedAttributes, mdui:PrivacyStatementURL, mdui:DisplayName, mdui:Description)
Differences between CoCo 1.0 and 2.0 (draft)
- CoCo 1.0 is based on the Data protection directive Protection Directive and CoCo 2.0 on the GDPR which replaced the directive in 25 May 2018.
- CoCo 2.0 is more descriptive, it explains how the law should be interpreted in the context of attribute release in an R&E identity federation (e.g. what the attributes can be used for, how long they can be stored, etc)
- CoCo 2.0, after having been approved by the data protection authorities, justifies attribute release out of EU, if the SP has committed to it properly. This means also non-EU/EEA SPs can commit to it.
- CoCo 2.0 covers better serves the needs of international organisations (such as CERN and EMBL)
- CoCo 2.0 introduces a CoCo monitoring body, as required by GDPR
- CoCo 2.0 requires the SP to commit to SIRTFI, too
- Some of the material that is non-normative in CoCo 1.0 is made normative in CoCo 2.0, as suggested by the authorities (e.g. Privacy Policy template, handling non-compliance)
- SPs can make use of the CoCo also for receiving attributes from Attribute Providers (not only Identity Providers)
