+## Start of Helmholtz AAI
+The blueprint for the new official Helmholtz-wide Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (Helmholtz AAI), derived from former [HDF AAI](http://cvs.data.kit.edu/hdf-aai/), is online and available for services and identity providers. It is drafted by [FZJ](https://fz-juelich.de) and [KIT](https://www.kit.edu/), and is compatible to the [AARC blueprint](https://aarc-project.eu/architecture/).
