  1. More Allergic ReactionsSome Potential Next Steps Tom Barton University of Chicago

  2. 1. Authority Management aka Distributed Attribute Administration • All of a VO’s authoritative persons and participants are not collocated within a single administrative domain • What attribute, group, & authority management systems and process will SoAs use to make their authority manifest in run-time infrastructure? • PERMIS, CAS, VOMS, … • Signet, Grouper, possibly in conjunction with above • Further work needed to determine reasonable ways of deploying the above • Maybe a cookbook 2

  3. 2. Name Mapping aka Account Linking • Bridge between deployed grid PKI and campus identity namespaces • Similar need seen in several architectural contexts (gridshib, myproxy, condor-shib) • Anywhere campus IdM and external IdM come into contact • Can we solve this just once? 3

  4. 3. Easing Design & Deployment • Reliance on formalized statements of practice that may refer to established standards of trustworthiness, and assurances that trusted IT operations actually do as they say • Examples: euGPMA, NIST, Federation attribute usage and operational practice profiles, CAF 4

  5. Easing Design & Deployment • Need more community standards • Providers & consumers of identity, authentication, & attribute tokens can be more easily implemented, across VOs supporting the community • Reduce, or at least bound, the potential set of “security profiles” (trust anchors & attribute profiles) our designs must support • Where can such discussions take place? • Egg, NISO in Library space 5

  6. Easing Design & Deployment • Technical architectures require sufficient campus identity & access management practices to actually support real activities • Better organization is needed to foster campus IAM deployment/upgrade 6

  7. 4. Low-Bar vs. High-Bar • Most(?) actual academic, multi-org spanning collaborations are informal, <10 participants, narrow scope (e.g., write a book). • Provide faculty with what they need to be at their best, but make it easy – Jeff Huberman • Is Jill’s MyVOCS exploring a sweetspot? • And is it in fact that easy, yet? • If not, what’s needed? • What about participants whose home org lacks sufficient IdM (or who lack a home org)? 7

  8. 5. The IdM Bump in the Rug • How to provide all participants with access when many are not already present in “blessed” authentication services? • K-12, unaffiliated persons, patients, affiliated persons whose orgs lack sufficient IAM practice • Preferred solution: someone else’s problem • Leif: analyze the cost of user support • Organizational solutions might help • Service centers • Develop or leverage a friendster.com like reputation system approach?? 8
