CARSI — CERNET Authentication and Resource Sharing Infrastructure

China's national identity federation for higher education and research, operated by Peking University and a full eduGAIN member. 1,042 SAML entities in eduGAIN carry CARSI as their registration authority — identity providers at 500+ Chinese universities and the service providers of international scholarly publishers — which makes this the largest programmable surface Peking University runs and one it runs on behalf of the whole sector. PKU also operates the national eduroam service at eduroam.edu.cn, listed with CARSI as CERNET basic infrastructure since October 2017.
