Description

Increasing use of cloud resources, and other developments in new workflows, have posed an important question on which certificate providers are most appropriate for different use cases. Certificate authorities under discussion include Let’s Encrypt but also the CAs of commercial cloud providers. We discuss the posing of this question along with the key stakeholders, including sites, operations, experiments, and identity management and security experts, as well as requirements that need to be included in this discussion. We report on the formation of new WLCG task force on this topic as we approach the first meeting of that group.
