Can I verify that someone is affiliated with AARNet?
Yes. AARNet participates in AAF, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their AARNet account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
