Project Declaration for "The Eclipse Trust Framework"

 

The ETF Project, an Eclipse Technology Subproject

 

The goal of the Eclipse Trust Framework (ETF) Project is to provide an open source framework to support the creation of applications on the Eclipse platform that manage a user’s online context (profile) and identity from an agent or especially from an end user’s perspective.

 

The ETF project will focus on improving the facilities within Eclipse for building secure, reliable context-specific interchanges between a user’s client and other systems. Applications developers will be able to use ETF APIs and plug-ins to build applications that are compatible with standard security/trust infrastructures.
