The authors describe exactly the wroing way to go about creative a subject-specific portal with access to a wide range of materials, but because so many people are interested in this model the paper is of some relevance. At the heart of this model is a bilateral agreement between the institution and the content provider. Then, through a cascading ladder of user authentication procedures an individual at the institution can access protected and encrypted information from the provider. This hasn't worked anywhere else in online content; I don't understand why people think it will work in education.
