  1. Running AliEn Secure Services Jianlin Zhu Huazhong Normal University

  2. Outline • Security Considerations for AliEn Services • Security Environment for AliEn Services • Security Infrastructure for AliEn Services • Security Instances for AliEn Services • Future work • Reference

  3. AliEn • AliEn is a distributed computing environment with the aim to offer the ALICE user community a transparent access to worldwide distributed computing and storage resources. • AliEn components are web services, and they talk to each other using SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) • Central Services Proxy,IS,Authen,Server,Logger,Broker,TransferManager,TransferBroker,TransferOptimizer,JobOptimizer,CatalogueOptimizer,PackManMaster,MessageMaster,SEManager,JobInfoManager,MonaLisa • Site Services ClusterMonitor,CE,SE,PackMan,MonaLisa

  4. Security Considerations • AliEn is running with more than twenty service components providing the public services for the whole grid system • Supporting the Grid Security Infrastructure and Public Key Infrastructure • Security Authentication • Communication Encryption • Private key protection • Delegation • Single sign-on • Compatibility，transparency to the Grid Components • Modular security function

  5. Grid Security Infrastructure Proxies and delegation (GSI Extensions) for secure single Sign-on Proxies and Delegation SSL/ TLS PKI (CAs and Certificates) SSL for Authentication And message protection PKI for credentials PKI: Public Key Infrastructure, SSH: Secure Socket Layer TLS: Transport Level Security

  6. Owner Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) • X.509 Certificates • Certificate Authorities (CAs) • Certificate Policies • Namespaces • Requesting a certificate • Certificate Request • Registration Authority • PKI allows you to know that a given public key belongs to a given user • PKI builds off of asymmetric encryption: • Each entity has two keys: public and private • Data encrypted with one key can only be decrypted with other. • The private key is known only to the entity • The public key is given to the world encapsulated in a X.509 certificate

  7. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) • Also known as TLS (Transport Layer Security) • Uses certificates and TCP sockets to provide a secured connection • Authentication of one or both parties using the certificates • Message protection • Confidentiality (encryption) • Integrity SSL/TLS Certificates TCP Sockets

  8. GSI • Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) • Based on Generic Security Services API (GSS-API) • Uses an extension to X509 certificates • Provides a mechanism to: • Authenticate a subject • Authorise a resource • Implement a single sign-on mechnism • Current implementation does this using: • Proxy certificates and Certification Authorities • Gridmapfile

  10. VOMS credentials are represented in the form of FQAN (short for Fully Qualified Attribute Name). • A FQAN is a string compound consisting of the group, the subgroups, and the role a user chooses from, in order to access a resource $ voms-proxy-info -all subject : /C=CN/O=HEP/O=CCNU/OU=PHYS/CN=jianlinzhu/CN=proxy issuer : /C=CN/O=HEP/O=CCNU/OU=PHYS/CN=jianlinzhu identity : /C=CN/O=HEP/O=CCNU/OU=PHYS/CN=jianlinzhu type : proxy strength : 1024 bits path : /tmp/x509up_u50218 timeleft : 11:45:59 === VO alice extension information === VO : alice subject : /C=CN/O=HEP/O=CCNU/OU=PHYS/CN=jianlinzhu issuer : /DC=ch/DC=cern/OU=computers/CN=voms.cern.ch attribute : /alice/Role=lcgadmin/Capability=NULL attribute : /alice/Role=NULL/Capability=NULL attribute : /alice/lcg1/Role=NULL/Capability=NULL timeleft : 11:45:58 uri : voms.cern.ch:15000

  11. HTTPS as the AliEn secure protocol • HTTPS is an interesting and important protocol for several reasons: • It is by far the most widely deployed secure protocol • It has a large amount of high quality modules that we could leverage • It has excellent interaction with Firewalls, Network Address Translation and Application Proxies • it has the potential to solve some of the problems sites have with private IP farms • along with HTTP, is the basis for Web and Grid Services • AliEn Services are Web Services using SOAP/XML to send messages • HTTPS consists of HTTP/1.1 over an SSL connection • security done by SSL layer, using X509 certificates (including GSI)

  12. Security Environment for AliEn Services • Apache as the AliEnserivces hosting environment mod_perl Supporting the perl language mod_ssl Supporting PKI (X.509 certificates verification ) mod_gridsite Supporting GSI (Parses GACLpolicies,X.509,GSI,VOMS credentials)

  13. What Apache provides • Allow customization of standard Apache installation through program modularity • Extensibility, decomposition and flexibility • Rich modules mod_ssl Encryption (private communications) mod_perl, mod_cgi, etc. Application and language support (cgi, perl, php, etc) mod_gridsite (GACLpolicies,X.509,GSI,VOMS credentials) support • Can be added at compile or before execution (with DSO) using LoadModule and AddModule directives

  14. What SSL Provides • Secure communcation between client and server. • SSL protocol works on top of the tcp/ip layer and below the application layer. • Provides for authentication using certificates, multiple encryption cipher choices, methods to exchange session keys, and integrity checking. • Server authentication almost always takes place. Client authentication is optional. • Once authetication and handshaking are done then data is transmitted using the strongest mutually available cipher over tcp/ip. • Weaker ciphers have resulted in some potential SSL security holes.

  15. What Gridsite Provides • Support for clients with GSI proxies to standard Apache/mod_ssl • With the XML access control language GACL ,to define read,write,list,admin permissions for files,directories and scripts • With the VOMS credentials, the resource owners could decide which privileges to provide to which VO attributes. <?xml version="1.0"?> <gacl> <entry> <person><dn>/C=CN/O=HEP/O=CCNU/OU=PHYS/CN=jianlinzhu</dn> </person> <allow><read/></allow> </entry> </gacl>

  16. Apache+mod_ssl+mod_gridsite • Together Apache , mod_ssl and mod_gridsitecreate a system of security with digital certificates and GSIthat allows you to offer secure, encrypted connections to the web server. • One more way to run AliEn services • Easy to config and manage • transparent to users • Secure single sign-on
