Middleware activities at the South-western Border RedIRIS update
SCHACing and COPing • The use of SCHAC is recommended by RedIRIS through its iris-* set of schemas • Since the availability of SCHAC IAD release 1 • The COPA coding schema is gaining momentum • Institutional codes of centers in the national council for scientific research and location-aware services • COPA v2 in beta stage • Enhanced flexibility in virtual view definition • First COPA-aware tools • SiLeDAP: http://sugus.eii.us.es/siledap/ • VOSnav: http://www.irisgrid.es/vosnav/
pkIRIS • A web-based interface for managing PKIs • Based on OpenSSL • Coded in PHP • AA (PAPI and potentially others) aware • Full LDAP backend • Extensibility of operations • Access methods based on COPA codes • In use for the EUGridPMA-accredited Spanish PKI (pkIRISGrid) • Beta distributions in use at CICA and UNED (Spain), REUNA (Chile) and UNAM (Mexico)
PAPI: Software • PAPI 1.4.1 about to be released • Maintenance releases (last version on Apache 1) • PAPI 1.5 in beta testing • phpPoA 2.0 in beta testing • Coherent object mode an enhanced attribute retrieval • Several Java flavors in production • Tomcat filter • JAAS implementation • SAGPoA (AA-RR based) • Rewriting the Java implementation • PAPI-EE and PAPICore • Enhancing the proxy features • Better attribute entanglement
PAPI speaks Shibboleth • Both SP and IdP • Using the tests at http://www.testshib.org/ • First real-usage tests to start next month • The Shib Wiki • Sympa • Elsevier SP • Experimenting with AKAShib configuration • Shibbolized applications can run behind a PAPI PoA without change
PAPI: Community • The federation idea has been soaking minds for quite a long time • The two biggest PAPI-based federation are now interconnected • Several projects for building federated infrastructures • With direct financial support • Similar to the one that brought eduroam • The European fusion community is on the rails • First interconnection CFN-ITER-TJII • Meeting at JET next November
OpenPMI • Aimed for providing the necessary tools to build an open Privilege Management Infrastructure (PMI) according to standards • Authorization service based on attributes certificates • Available at http://openpmi.sourceforge.net/ • Current status • Based on enhancing OpenSSL with attribute certificate support • Collaboration with Adobe • SAML – AC translator • Attribute certificate delegation editor • Visual design of delegation model • Automatic AC generation • Ongoing work • Java and Web Services support • Attribute certificate support in TLS handshake • Attribute certificates in smartcards

Opera Oberta • Opera Oberta multicasts live opera performances from Gran Teatre del Liceu http://www.opera-oberta.org/ • 10 Mbps MPEG2 • Dolby Digital • More than 40 institutions in 5 countries • DRM is performed using proprietary technology • Smartcard-based IPSec boxes • Sessions are announced and managed via out-of-band methods
Enhancing Opera Oberta • Native IPSec multicast on IPv6 • Session keys distributed and managed through IKE • Session descriptions stored in LDAP • Session metadata • Session entitlements • Session key material • Several output formats envisaged • Direct LDAP query • SDP • RSS • Currently defining the schema and building initial component prototypes
