What does it mean that LionShare is authenticated and uses a trust model?
An authenticated system, such as LionShare, uses a UserID and password combination to ensure that users are clearly identified in order to avoid anonymous usage of the system. LionShare's trust model takes this one step further. Any user who authenticates through one participating institution will be able to access certain resources from other institutions. In other words, one institution trusts the authentication process of another institution.
