  3. Current State of Affairs TERENA TF-EMC2

  4. Back Ground • Authentication Services in Grids • Grids Federations have separated the Authentication and Authorization problems. • Resource owners are responsible for Authorization. • Maps Authentication token to local access. • Authentication service providers are responsible for providing Strong Authentication tokens (Certificates). • International Grid Federation • March 2003 Tokyo • Promote and coordinate Regional Policy Management Authorities. • Next meeting at GGF13 Seoul, S Korea. • European Union Grid PMA – community lead organization • Asian Pacific Grid PMA • The Americas Grid PMA • TERENA • International trusted 3rd party. • Trust anchors for NRENS TERENA TF-EMC2

  5. International Grid Federation • Set up in March 2003 – the Tokyo accord. WWW.GridPMA.org • Goals • Promote trust peering between The Americas, European and Asian Pacific communities. • EU Grid Policy Management Authority • EGEE: Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe • Asian Pacific Policy Management Authority • APGrid: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology • The Americas Grid PMA – new • Canada and USA (DOE) • Promotes the establishment of top level CA registries: • Trusted 3rd party repositories need for establishment of trust. • Root CA certificates, CA repositories and CRL publishing points. • EU Grid PMA registry – de facto (CNRS: French National Center for Scientific Research) • Asian Pacific CA registry (AP PMA) • TERENA TACAR (TERENA Academic CA Repository) • Use Global Grid Forum for publishing Standards and community best practices. TERENA TF-EMC2

  6. Regional PMAs • EU Grid PMA (www.eugridpma.org) • Represents CA and Relying parties. • 26 country level CAs, plus US members • Manages the de facto minimum CA operational requirements. • Manages the primary list of trusted CAs. • Asian Pacific Grid PMA (www.apgridpma.org) • Formed Summer of 2004 • Represents CA and Relying parties. • 12 country level CAs, and SDSC • Minimum operational requirement synced with EU’s • The Americas Grid PMA (www.TAGPMA.org) • Started Fall 2004 • Represents CA and Relying parties. • Represent CA’s from Research and Academic communities in the Americas. • Investigate alternative Authentication services. • Will produce new Minimum Operational requirements for On line CAs. TERENA TF-EMC2

  7. Global Grid Forum • GGF efforts are driven by our community requirements. • Developing International trust relationships has shown a need for common agreed upon practices. • Community Documents • Grid CP/CPS • Policy Management authority • PKI Disclosure statement – copy right issue ABA • Certificate profile – tabled – resurrected • Grid common naming practices – tabled • OCSP service requirements • Authentication Profiles - New TERENA TF-EMC2

  9. How TERENA can help: Grids and NRENs • International trusted 3rd party. • Trust anchor publishing • Possible home for IGF • Expanded support for global Identity operations. Primarily a publishing model. • Possible coordination point for Grids and NRENs • Avoid development of separate but equal services. • Resource Location • Authentication Profiles document TERENA TF-EMC2

  10. Resource Location • Resource location is mostly controlled by resource owners – Sites and Grids. No common publishing or access model. • Each has developed solutions for their community. Motivation to change low. • Shared resources maybe an opportunity to develop common practices. • PMAs, Certificate Authorities, etc • How can we approach this problem? • Directed publishing model – chain of webs • Rooted LDAP directory tree – Serves all players. TERENA TF-EMC2

  11. Why Authentication Profiles? • New Authentication services will fragment the current global trust model. • Yet, we must allow for innovations in Authentication services. • Classic PKI procrustean bed no longer works. • Currently a draft GGF informational doc. TERENA TF-EMC2

  12. Authentication Profile what is in it? • Authentication Services must provide basic information on: • The governance of authentication service. • A set of membership and operational requirements. • Publishing model that Relying parties can trust. TERENA TF-EMC2

  13. General Federation Document • Federation definition - description • General architecture • Identity management • Operational requirements • Site security. • Publication and repository responsibilities • Liability • Financial responsibilities • Audits and compliance • Privacy and confidentiality • Compromise and disaster recovery • Federation administration TERENA TF-EMC2

  14. New Authentication services TERENA TF-EMC2

  15. New Federations and AuthN services efforts SIPS - Site Integrated Proxy services • KCA example • Site SSL support - Host certificate service • Grids and NRENs exploring separate solutions. • RAF - RADIUS Authentication Fabric • Expand scope of DOEGrids TERENA TF-EMC2

  16. Site Integrated Proxy servicesKCA example Site Kerberos KDC • Synopsis of steps for Grid User: • Register with Fermilab • Get your Fermilab VID • Get your Kerberos Principal • Install the Fermilab KCA certificate and signing policy; • Install the KCA client software; • Generate proxy access Grid Access Grid resources Proxy generator KCA TERENA TF-EMC2

  17. SSL Service Federation • Synopsis of steps for System Admin: • Register with ESnet: • 1. Get your ESnet Grid Admin account • 2. Request and self approve host certificates. • Replaces: • a. Self signed certificates • b. Commercial providers • Requires: • The Browser providers to add the SSL CA cert to their trusted list of CAs – this is to stops security warning pop-ups.
