Open Source Software Library

Canadian research networks including CANARIE and provincial NREN members such as ORION and BCNET are major contributors to open-source network authentication and AAI infrastructure. Their contributions to FreeRADIUS and eduroam infrastructure enable secure network access for millions of students and researchers.

Freenet is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant communication and publishing. Ian Clarke, whose work has strong Canadian roots, created the project. Canadian privacy advocates and technical contributors have been essential to the project's ongoing development and adoption.
