5. E-Science: The Original Grid Driver • Pre-electronic science • Theorize &/or experiment, in small teams • Post-electronic science • Construct and mine very large databases • Develop computer simulations & analyses • Access specialized devices remotely • Exchange information within distributed multidisciplinary teams • Need to manage dynamic, distributed infrastructures, services, and applications

6. And Thus: The Grid “Resource sharing & coordinated problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations”

11. Resource Sharing within “VOs” is Not Unique to Science! • Fragmentation of enterprise infrastructure • Driven by cheap servers, fast nets, ubiquitous Internet, eBusiness workloads • Need to configure distributed collections of services to deliver specified QoS • Virtualization • Emerging service infrastructure, utility computing models, economies of scale • Services dynamically instantiated across device spectrum • B2B, B2C, C2C interactions

12. Distributed service management Resource & service aggregation Delivery of virtualized services with QoS guarantees Dynamic, secure service discovery & composition Virtualization andDistributed Service Management Larger, more integrated More connected Dynamically provisioned Less capable, integrated Less connected User service locus Device Continuum

14. Challenging Technical Requirements • Dynamic formation and management of virtual organizations • Discovery & online negotiation of access to services: who, what, why, when, how • Configuration of applications and systems able to deliver multiple qualities of service • Management of distributed state within infrastructures, services, and applications • Open, extensible, evolvable infrastructure

17. Grid Security & Certification • Challenges include • Dynamic group membership and trust relationships within virtual organizations • Complex computational structures extending beyond client-server: delegation • Mission-critical apps and valuable resources • Issues include • Cross-certification • Mechanisms and credentials • Distributed authorization • Secure logging and audit

18. No Cross- Domain Trust Trust Mismatch Cross “Certification” Issue Certification Certification Authority Authority Domain B Domain A Policy Policy Authority Authority Task Server Y Server X Sub-Domain A1 Sub-Domain B1

19. Cross-Certification • Cross-certification at corporate level difficult • Legal implications, liability, bureaucracy • Address trust at user/resource level! • Many business relationships do not require involvement of President/CEO … • Virtual organization as bridge • Federate through mutually trusted services • Local policy authorities rule … • Assertions language for trust relationships • WS-Trust, WS-Federation, WS-Policy

20. Certification Authority Authority Policy Policy Authority Authority Sub-Domain B1 Sub-Domain A1 Domain B Task Server X Server Y Grid Solution:Use Virtual Organization as Bridge No Cross- Domain Trust Certification Domain A Federation Service common mechanism Virtual Organization Domain

21. Mechanism and Credential Issue • Different mechanisms & credentials • X.509 vs Kerberos, SSL vs GSSAPI, X.509 vs. X.509 (different domains) • X.509 attribute certs vs SAML assertions • Need for common mechanism • GSI-SecureConversation • Need for credential federation services • Obtain X.509 creds with Kerberos ticket • Obtain Kerberos ticket with X.509 creds • Cross X.509 or Kerberos domains/realms

22. Example:Kerberos-X.509 Federation • Requestor: Kerberos realm • Server: X.509-based domain (only authenticates requestors with X.509 creds) • VO provides Kerberos-CA federation service • Has Kerberos identity within requestor’s realm • Kerb-CA cert is trusted within server-side VO • Kerb-CA issues (short-lived) X.509-certs that assert requestor’s Kerberos principal name • Requestor’s runtime is “X.509-enabled” • Server’s access control policy within the VO is based on requestor’s Kerberos principal name

23. Kerberos-X.509 Federation Service Kerberos Realm X.509 Domain Kerberos-CA Svc Policy Authority Kerberos Ticket trusts Krb-CA issued certs enforcement on requestor's X.509 cert principal name X.509 secured protocol Requestor Server Virtual Organization Domain

24. Grid Authorization/Policy Issue • Resources may not know foreign requestors • Impairs fine-grained policy admin • Outsource policy admin to req’s sub-domain • Enables fine-grained policy • “Community Authorization Service” (CAS) • Resource owner sets course-grained policy rules for foreign domain on “CAS-identity” • CAS sets policy rules for its local users • Requestors obtain capabilities from their local CAS that get enforced at the resource

25. Community Authorization Service Domain A Domain B Sub-Domain B1 Sub-Domain A1 Policy Authority Community Authorization Svc enforcement CAS identity on CAS-identity and "trusted" requestor's capabilities capability assertions request + CAS assertions Server Requestor Virtual Organization Domain

26.

27. Secure Logging and Audit • Robust, secure audit infrastructure is essential for commercial Grid deployment • Natural audit “code-points” in OGSA runtime • User’s credentials, authorization decisions, invoked portTypes, parameter values, etc. • Allows for secure logging transparent and independent from applications • Standard call-outs to external security services • More relevant audit code-points • XML facilitates audit-entry filtering & mgmt

28. Transparent Audit Code-Points All service invocations and policy decisions within stubs are “natural” audit code-points

30. The Grid World: Current Status • Many major Grid projects in scientific & technical computing/research & education • Open source Globus Toolkit™ a de facto standard for major protocols & services • Simple protocols & APIs for authentication, discovery, access, etc.: infrastructure • Information-centric design • Large user and developer base • Multiple commercial support providers • Global Grid Forum: community & standards • Emerging Open Grid Services Architecture

31. Grid Security Infrastructure • Uniform authentication & authorization mechanisms in multi-institutional setting • Single sign-on, delegation, identity mapping • Public key tech, SSL/TLS, X.509, GSS-API • Internet/GGF drafts document extensions • Supporting infrastructure • Certificate Authorities • Online credential repository • Kerberos-X.509 federation server • Etc., etc., etc.
