OGSA Express Authentication Security Profile
(90 mins)
Duane Merrill
(OGSA-WG) Group Discussion
Planning for the interoperability of Grid entities is a difficult problem, particularly with respect to secure communication. In many cases, defining a minimum set of common secure communication requirements for all usage scenarios is simply not possible. Despite this, we can still facilitate interoperability by profiling popular and commonly-used security mechanisms and, most importantly, a mechanism to advertise/discover these secure communication requirements. This allows a Grid community to self-select such requirements that are appropriate and then leverage these profiles as necessary to achieve interoperability between its members (and/or cleanly discover where interoperability is not possible).
In this session we present the OGSA Basic Security Profile 2.0 suite of profiles (colloquially known as the "Express Authentication Profile"). These documents profile the use of WS-SecurityPolicy to express the WS-I BSP -compliant secure communication mechanisms required by an OGSA endpoint within WS-Addressing EPRs.
Agenda:
Presentation of the Profile Suite:
* Motivation for its creation
* How it fits into the WS/OGSA paradigm
* The relationships of the component profiles (Secure Addressing, Secure Transport, and Secure SOAP) to each other, to their referenced specifications, and to the older OGSA Security Profile 1.0 documents.
