Higher Ed Anonymous Identifier (eduPersonTargetedID)
| Definition: |
A persistent, opaque identifier for the account owner given to a service provider. This identifier facilitates long-term user sessions, but cannot be used to identify the account owner. This attribute is designed to preserve the account owner's privacy and inhibit the ability of multiple unrelated services from correlating user activity by comparing values. |
