  1. Status and plans of the APGrid PMA Yoshio Tanaka (yoshio.tanaka@aist.go.jp) Grid Technology Research Center, AIST, Japan

  2. APGrid PMA: Asia Pacific Grid PMA • General Policy Management Authority in Asia Pacific • Launched on June 1st, 2004 • Defines minimum CA requirements • APGrid PMA approved that we accept two levels of CA: • Experimental-level CA • Alternative of the Globus CA • Can be trusted within A-P communities • Production-level CA • Strict management is necessary • Expected to be trusted by international communities

  3. Members and CAs

  4. Status • Many members were inactive • could not have motivation for active participation • satisfy with using experimental CA (simple CA) • non experts of PKI/Security and have less interests for the security • Situation is going to be changed • Some CAs have a plan for launching a production-level CA • IHEP / China, CAS / China, NCHC / Taiwan, VPAC / Australia • U. of Tsukuba is involved in Lattice QC Grid project and it expects NAREGI CA to be trusted by European and American CAs • APGrid PMA should be able to help this.

  5. Plans • Change membership • General membership • has no voting right • Ex officio membership • has voting right • has obligation for commitment • representatives of production-level CAs • representatives of experimental-level CAs in request basis • Invite representatives of relying parties to the APGrid PMA • Change accreditation procedure • Now: voting using emails • Plan: have regular face-to-face meeting / VTC (regular meeting and request-basis) • Define procedures for re-certify CAs • peer-audit or PMA (chair) will audit all CAs • Should establish formal relationship with the other PMAs • ASCC, IHEP should belong to only APGrid PMA

  6. Summary • APGrid PMA has two main objectives: • be responsible as a regional PMA in Asia Pacific • define minimum CA requirements • accredit and audit CAs • support CAs in Asia Pacific • help / give advice to launch CAs • inform the current status and future direction about our efforts (IGF) • It was less active, but the situation is going to be improved. • Re-organize the PMA • Changed the accreditation procedure • Will have face-to-face meeting • Will do audit
