About Us

SIFULAN Malaysian Access Federation (SIFULAN) enhances user experience by providing secure and seamless access to both internal and external digital resources. Through this federation service, SIFULAN connects identity providers and service providers within Malaysia and across international federations (inter-federation). This ensures trusted and secure collaboration.

As a member of eduGAIN, an international service that connects research communities and higher education identity federations worldwide, SIFULAN expands opportunities for Malaysian institutions. In fact, its subscribers can now access services from more than 70 similar federations, including those in the United States and across Europe. As a result, researchers, educators, and students can share tools and collaborate securely on a global scale.

Beyond global engagement, SIFULAN has also played a vital role in regional development. For example, it has supported the establishment and growth of national federations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, and the Philippines. These efforts were made possible through research and development grants secured from the European Union under the Asi@Connect program. In addition, SIFULAN contributes to capacity building, technical expertise, and regional cooperation.

By advancing collaboration at both local and global levels, SIFULAN places Malaysia as a trusted partner in the identity federation community. Researchers and educators gain secure connections that enable innovation and long-term cooperation. The service is proudly operated by Birunisoft PLT, ensuring professional management and sustainability.
