InCommon, UC, And Moving To Silver • InCommon framework ensures that UC campuses are adequately protecting staff and faculty identities and sensitive data. • InCommon framework is consistent with the research mission of UCOP, facilitating collaboration among campuses and Federal institutions. • By acting now, UC will be in alignment with significant Federal agencies and educational institutions, and can strengthen the UCTrust Basic framework.
InCommon Framework Is Based On Federal Guidelines • Federal Guidelines include • NIST Special Publication 800-63 • Level of Assurance 2 (LOA2) as defined in OMB-04-04 and FIPS 199. • LOA2: “On balance, confidence exists that the asserted identity is accurate”.
InCommon Identity Assurance Program Functional areas define the standards. Identity Providers address how to meet them. For each functional area, identify the gaps between UC location identity management infrastructure and the InCommon Silver profile
Approach for Meeting InCommon Silver Standards • Gap Analysis: Determine gaps between standards; determine effort to meet gaps. • Next step: Identify participants from relevant business and technical areas. • Then: Select initial tasks based on available resources and relative complexity. InCommon Silver Standards Local UCB and UCDStandards
Business, Policy, and Operational Factors (4.2.1) Purpose: Must be an InCommon Participant in good standing.
Registration and IdentityProofing (4.2.2) Purpose: Identity proofing is based on government issued ID or public records. Verified information is used to create a record for the Subject.
Credential Technology (4.2.3) Purpose:. If other Credentials are used to authenticate the Subject to the IdP, they must meet or exceed the effect of these requirements.
Credential Issuance and Management (4.2.4) Purpose: The authentication Credential must be bound to the physical Subject and to the IdMS record pertaining to that Subject
AuthenticationEvents (4.2.5) Purpose: The Subject proves that he or she is the holder of a Credential, enabling the subsequent issuance of Assertions.
Identity InformationManagement (4.2.6) Purpose: Subject records must be managed appropriately so that Assertions [issued by UCD or UDB] are valid
Identity Assertion Content (4.2.7) Purpose: have processes in place to ensure that information about a Subject’s identity conveyed in an Assertion of identity to an SP is from an authoritative source.
Technical Environment (4.2.8) • Purpose: Resist potential technical threats that might result in false assertions of identity • Statement 4.2.8.2.1: Appropriate measures shall be used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of network communications supporting IdMS operations.
Comparing the UCTrust Basic and InCommon Silver Framework • It is possible to replace most but not all of UCTrust Basic with InCommon Silver policy. • InCommon Silver policy has more specific requirements for IdP than UCTrust Basic. InCommon Silver’s IdP requirements can replace UCTrust Basic’s IdP requirements. • InCommon Silver does not have requirements for Service Providers; UCTrust Basic does have requirements for Service Providers. • InCommon Silver requires an audit; UCTrust Basic does not require an audit.

Roadmap For Moving To Silver Roadmap to using InCommon Silver profile identities for UCTrust and InCommon applications
InCommon Silver Roadmap: Past Work • UC Trust Working Group discussed issues, including how to proceed (December 2010-March 2011) • UC Berkeley and UC Davis performed a gap analysis and a level of effort analysis (October 2010 - March 2011) • UC Berkeley and UC Davis participated with CIC (Virginia Tech and Indiana U) on a joint panel presentation at the Educause Security Professionals Conference in April 2011. • UCTrust Working Group provided feedback to the InCommon Federation TAC on their 1.1 draft documents via David Walker (December 2010 – March 2011) • ITPS and UCTrust Working Group are discussing InCommon Silver in April 2011
InCommon Silver Roadmap Spring 2011 • Ask each campus location to perform a high level gap analysis and report results to the UCTrust Working Group by mid-May. (See slide 16). • ITPS and UCTrust Working Group to share high level gap analysis and proposed project plan to move to InCommon Silver with the ITLC at June 2011 meeting
InCommon Silver Roadmap: Next Steps If Plan is Approved • Each UC location to perform a detailed gap analysis and create their local project plan for InCommon Silver certification and report results to their CIO.UCTrust will collect the UC location project plans. • Based on the UC location project plans, ITPS and UCTrust Working Group to provide a UC-wide plan to ITLC.
InCommon Silver Roadmap: Next Steps • UCTrust Working Group to update the UCTrust Policy document to align with the use of InCommon Silver Policy for IdP’s and UCTrust Basic Policy for Service Providers • UC locations to initiate work to meet InCommon Silver profile standards. • UCTrust Working Group to ask SPs to accept InCommon Silver and UCTrustassertions • UC locations run a campus audit to meet InCommon Silver profile standards, then request certification from InCommon Federation.
InCommon Silver Roadmap: Next Steps • After approval from InCommon Federation, UC locations can begin to use InCommon Silver identities for UCTrust and InCommon applications. • UCTrust Working Group to tell SPs that they no longer need to accept UCTrust Basic assertions

Federal Assurance Framework LOA2 Adopted by InCommon and UCTrust • Level of Assurance (LOA) is based on a risk assessment of unauthorized access, authentication error, or credential misuse Risk criteria (OMB-04-04) include: • Inconvenience, distress, or damage to reputation • Financial loss or liability • Harm to agency programs or public interest • Unauthorized release of sensitive information • Personal safety • Civil or criminal violations
InCommon • InCommon provides a framework of shared policies, trust-establishing processes, and technology standards for universities and service partners to follow.
