Presentation Transcript

  1. SIMI: Secure Identity Management Infrastructure for the CSU A. Michael Berman, Cal Poly Pomona

  2. Overview of Presentation • What is the SIMI proposal for CSU? • How did we get here? • What happens next? • A vision for the future

  3. What is the SIMI Proposal for the CSU?

  4. What is the SIMI proposal? • A coordinated, system-wide effort to develop a Secure Identity Management Infrastructure • A technology and policy infrastructure to support the secure, private, and reliable transactions related to the identities of individuals in the CSU system

  5. Potential Technology Dimensions for SIMI • Directories – LDAP and others • Account provisioning and management • Single sign-on (web sign-on) • PKI • Advanced authorization solutions, e.g. Shibboleth

  6. Potential Policy Dimensions for SIMI • Cross-campus policy rationalization • Establishment of minimum standards, e.g. for account management • Compliance with state & federal regulations related to identity information, e.g. GLB, SB1346

  7. Potential Applications • CMS support and enhancement • Access to Library resources • White pages • Secure messaging • Access to learning resources, e.g. on-line course cross-registration

  8. Roles and Responsibilities of Campuses and “SIMI Central” • Most of the work will take place on the campuses – much is happening now • Role of proposed central organization: • Coordination • Communication • Support • Leverage • Consulting

  9. How Did We Get Here?

  10. Activities of the ITAC • Directories Working Group • Multi-campus pilot • CalStateEduPerson specification • Middleware Steering Committee • Appointed by David Ernst to develop recommendations • Meetings with campus representatives, CMS Staff, CMS Project Directors, COLD representatives • Discussions with Internet2, Educause, representatives from other systems, e.g. Maryland

  11. Related Activities • Internet2/NSF Middleware Initiative • COLD – Pharos project • CMS driving LDAP implementations

  12. What Happens Next?

  13. Status of the Proposal • Recommendations transmitted to David Ernst in May • Discussions currently underway in CO • To be presented to the Technical Steering Committee (subcommittee of ExecCouncil) • We expect that it will happen, even given the tight & uncertain budget environment

  14. Proposal Details • Three year project with proposed central budget of ~ $3 million • Central coordinating staff of 2 high level technical staff, a project director, communications and documentation specialists and a support person • Initial activity – develop CSU-wide LDAP directory

  15. A Vision for the Future

  16. Consider the potential… • Approximately 500,000 individuals from 24 entities (campuses + CO) • Millions of alumni • Community Colleges • High School Students • CENIC’s “One Gigabit or Bust” initiative
