The Grand Unified Token (GUT)-profile working group is trying to create a single OAuth2 token profile to replace the main token profiles: SciTokens, WLCG and AARC. These token profiles are being used by infrastructures and collaborations such as LIGO, HTCondor, WLCG, EGI etc. for a "new" authentication method, replacing the current X.509-based authentication. All these profiles share various...
In previous HEPiX meetings we have presented on the strategic direction of the Security Operations Centre working group, focused on building reference designs for sites to deploy the capability to actively use threat intelligence with fine-grained network monitoring and other tools. This work continues in an environment where the cybersecurity risk faced by research and education, notably from...
This presentation provides an update on the global security landscape since the last HEPiX meeting. It describes the main vectors of risks and compromises in the academic community including lessons learnt, presents interesting recent attacks while providing recommendations on how to best protect ourselves.
Given the importance of the network to WLCG, it is important to guarantee effective network usage and prompt detection and resolution of any network issues, including connection failures, congestion and traffic routing. This talk will focus on the status and plans for the joint WLCG and IRIS-HEP/OSG-LHC effort to operate a global perfSONAR deployment and develop associated network metric...
The high-energy physics community, along with the WLCG sites and Research and Education (R&E) networks have been collaborating on network technology development, prototyping and implementation via the Research Networking Technical working group (RNTWG) since early 2020.
In this talk we’ll give an update on the Research Networking Technical working group activities, challenges and recent...
The HEPiX IPv6 Working Group has been encouraging the deployment of IPv6 in WLCG for many years. At the last HEPiX meeting in Canada we reported that more than 97% of all LHC experiment Tier-2 storage services are IPv6-capable. Since then, we have turned our attention to compute services and have launched a GGUS ticket campaign for WLCG sites to deploy dual-stack computing elements and worker...
