eduroam is a federated authentication solution that allows users from participating institutions to gain secure access to wireless network access using their standard username/password credentials as they do at their home institution for wireless access. eduroam can enable access without the user having to enter any details, simply open your laptop and if its wireless enabled it will connect to eduroam, authenticate and authorise network access. – aarnet
