  10. SEE-GEO Meeting 20th March 2008

  11. Authentication Issues • Adopting Shibboleth as the authentication infrastructure • Build federation for eSS community and define user attributes • Integration of Shibboleth with legacy authentication systems • Integration of Shibboleth with Sakai portal SEE-GEO Meeting 20th March 2008

  12. Security Challenges • Simplicity • Avoiding complicated security procedures like authentication, delegation, etc • Usability • Providing web-based one stop environment to access a variety of social science resources like datasets, tools, services, wiki, blogs, etc. • Interoperability • Making legacy security systems interoperable • Manageability • Relieve administrator and service providers workload • Granularity • Providing flexibility for service providers to make fine-grained authorization for various resources SEE-GEO Meeting 20th March 2008

  13. Authorization Issues • Design & implement a fine-grained authorization infrastructure for grid-enabled datasets • Attribute-based fine-grained access control for OGSA-DAI b • ased social science datasets • Using Shibboleth, VOMS and PERMIS as authorization engine SEE-GEO Meeting 20th March 2008
