  1. Results of the TF-Mobility group James Sankar Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  2. TF-Mobility group Current Status • Taskforce officially ended June 2004. • Almost all deliverables are complete. • End of taskforce report written. • New charter written for approval. • New TF-Mobility “kick-off” meeting on Friday 10 September in Berlin. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  3. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables • A: Website • B: Glossary • C: Requirements definition • D: Web-based inventory • E: 802.1X inventory • F: VPN inventory Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  4. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • G: Preliminary selection for inter-NREN roaming • Interoperable design for 802.1X, web redirection and VPN. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  5. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • H: Test bed and reference design for inter-NREN roaming • To support both types of network authentication two logically separated networks on the radio layer are needed. • Access points must be capable of multiple SSID’s and (multiple) VLAN assignment. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  6. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • H: Test bed and reference design for inter-NREN roaming • CASG tests were successful across NRENs. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  7. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • I: Inter-NREN roaming policy (1) • Vision: • Create a collaborative environment, nationally and internationally • Offer an automated authentication network access service • Offer a service that is recognisable to the academic community • Respect visited organisation AUP, follow home organisation AUP • Once authenticated the visited organisation will “trust” the response from the user’s home organisation and grant network access based on local site policy. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  8. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • I: Inter-NREN roaming policy (2) • General principles • Roaming access to authorised users only (authenticated at home institution) • All roaming users are responsible for own credentials and abiding by roaming AUP. • Visited institutions • must provide a recognisable service for guest users. • must state whether the transmission of user credentials is secure. • have the right to block any roaming user, academic institution of NREN from network access • Home institution is responsible for educating own users who use the service. • Participants should provide feedback to institutions, who may escalate to the NREN or in rare occasions to TERENA. • Policies • TERENA level: TERENA and NRENs • NREN level: NRENs and Institutions Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  9. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • J/K: Wireless LAN information • Product-testing Matrix (WLAN devices) • A rich source of information about product testing can be found at: http://www.uninett.no/wlan/ • More wireless information on a variety of topics can be found at: http://www.ja.net/development/network_access/wireless/wag/wireless-info.html Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  10. End of taskforce report Details on the following deliverables (continued) • L: MobileIP (currently being drafted) • Network Access and IPv6 • Commercial Web-based redirect does not support IPv6, would be interesting to investigate NoCatAuth (+ IPv6 capability) • IPv6 capable VPNs are still in infancy • 802.1X allows IPv6 admittance (as it works at Layer 2), some early work on IPv6 RADIUS Lookup (Supported by latest version of RADIATOR and FREERADIUS patch) • RADIUS servers • Option to deploy dual stack RADIUS to support Ipv4/v6 lookups • MIPv6 (RFC3775) Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  11. End of taskforce report Update on national roaming developments across Europe. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  14. End of taskforce report • Conclusions • No single national roaming solution can support all inter-NREN roaming requirements. • Interoperable solutions (RADIUS, CASG) were designed, built and tested. • Interest in Inter-NREN roaming has grown. • Roaming Policies introduced. • Valuable work on access points and WLAN clients produced. • The impact of MobileIP / IPv6 considered. Geant2 – JRA5 meeting

  15. End of taskforce report • Recommendations • Continue work already done • Draft a broader charter • Develop a roaming service • Extend roaming access beyond NRENs • Develop more secure, flexible and accountable roaming services by integrating with AAI solutions Geant2 – JRA5 meeting
