Athens (access and identity management service)
Athens is an identity management service based in the United Kingdom that is supplied by Eduserv to provide single sign-on to protected resources together with full user management capability. Organisations adopting the service can choose between the ''Classic Athens service'', where individual usernames are held by Eduserv, or Local Authentication where individual usernames are held locally and security tokens are exchanged via any of several communications protocols: SAML, Shibboleth or ''Athens Devolved Authentication'' (AthensDA) (). Over 4.5 million users worldwide can gain access to over 300 protected online resources via the service.
Athens replaces the multiple usernames and passwords otherwise necessary to access subscription based content with a single username and password that can be entered once per session. It operates independently of the user’s location or IP address.
== History ==
The project was conceived in 1996 at the University of Bath, the service was originally named ''Athena'' after the Greek goddess of knowledge and learning. It is rumoured that the name change was partially caused by a common typo, but it was actually due to the name Athena being already trademarked.
Starting in 1996, the service has had two periods of significant expansion. The first in 2000 due to a central contract that made the service freely available to almost all UK Higher and Further education institutions, and the second in 2003 when adopted by the UK National Health Service.
