  1. What’s going on at your friendly neighbourhood RedIRIS update

  2. What’s going on • Federated approaches growing in size (and number!) • Though convergence seems possible • PAPI meets Sun IdM products • Working towards a close integration • Developing IdM for WS • In collaboration with the European industry • Applying some results in diagnostics processing • Spam remediation techniques • Collaborative multimedia content repositories • The federation idea goes one step beyond

  3. Federation(s) growth • First tests with commercial providers scheduled for the CBIC federation • JSTOR and Elsevier • Two first IdPs for SAUWoK in operation • WAYF system integrated in the portal • LDAP representation of metadata • Plans for integrating CBIC and SAUWoK • Agreement for federated e-learning project • Association of Southern universities • Specifically intended to be technology agnostic • Contacts with the government • Though they are very much in the PKI mood

  4. PAPI and Sun AM/FM • Collaboration between RedIRIS and Sun • With the support of the Seville Java Center (CICA) • Tight, API-based integration • Taking advantage of the PAPI-JAAS implementation • Main expected results • Sun AM will incorporate PAPI proxy capabilities • PAPI will incorporate SAML2 support • Will cover both AM/FM and openSSO/openFederation • First demonstration scheduled for the coming RedIRIS Working Groups meeting (June)

  5. OSIRIS • Security architecture defined • Use cases for the open source implementation of Liberty ID-WSF (OpenLiberty)

  6. ESWL and mail diagnostics • ESWL (plus MTAWL) is the Spanish DNS-based mail whitelist • Operated by the ABUSES Forum • Avoid the negative impact of anti spam filters, specially filters using Blacklists • Guarantee email interchange between Spanish ISPs • In the process of evaluating diagnostic data aggregators to automatically manage the lists • Commercial: Simplicita http://www.simplicita.com/ • Home made: DESCON II https://www.rediris.es/cert/doc/reuniones/cord/gt2006/Descon2-rediris.pdf

  7. ARCA • Agregador RSS para la Comunidad Académica • http://arca.uc3m.es/ • http://www.rediris.es/pruebas/arca/ • Main goals • Harmonize and centralize all the information about available multimedia content. • Up-to-date information • Specially, with respect to changes in each institution programming • Flexibility for participating institutions, so they can change announcements on their own • And keep their own announcement systems • In use by the RedIRIS community • Being evaluated by TERENA (the PEACHES group and others)

  8. ARCA: The architecture • The system is divided into channels. A channel represents a source of multimedia content • Every institution is associated with one or more channels • Each channel contains a series of events, retransmissions and/or multimedia contents, called “channel items” • Each institution must generate data about its own channel, as well as data for all the items to be transmitted through the channel • By means of RSS elements

  9. ARCA: RSS formats • A general RSS format has been defined, with specific labels for each content type (direct, VoD, podcast) • No single RSS fulfills system requirements, so three different namespaces are in use: • Yahoo media RSS: Data about multimedia content • Itunes RSS: Data about multimedia content and podcasting • Google base events RSS: Announcements of programmed events • The system consolidates into a single database all the information collected from the participating sources • Through this database, information about channel and items can be accessed by means of a calendar, lists, queries, etc.
