Area Scope:
The Security Area is concerned with technical and operational security issues in Grid environments, including authentication, authorization, privacy, confidentiality, auditing, firewalls, trust establishment, policy establishment, and dynamics, scalability and management aspects of all of the above.
Security Groups:
Open Grid Service Architecture Authorization (OGSA AUTHZ-WG)
The objective of the OGSA Authorization WG is to define the specifications needed to allow for basic interoperability and plug-ability of authorization components in the OGSA framework.
Firewall Issues (FI-RG)
The research group will first document the type of issues that Grid applications experience when the need arises to control data transport policy enforcement devices. Once the types of issues have been identified, the group will relate these issues to specific categories of enforcement devices.
Trusted Computing (TC-RG)
The Trusted Computing (TC) initiative developed by Trusted Computing Group (TCG) represents a major shift in the design of computing hardware, offering substantial benefits in host identity, secure storage, and software integrity measurement. The purpose of this research group is to evaluate how the capabilities of TC can be used in a grid context.
