Description
Identity management infrastructure has been a key work area for the Open
Science Grid (OSG) security team for the past year. The progress of web-based
authentication protocols such as openID, SAML, and scientific federations
such as InCommon, prompted OSG to evaluate its current identity management
infrastructure and propose ways to incorporate new protocols and methods.
For the couple of years we have been working on documenting and then
improving the user experience. Our identity roadmap has evolved. In one next
step we are working closely with the ESNET DOE Grids CA group on the future
for the main US x509 CA. We are now starting a pilot project using a
commercial CA, DigiCert CA, which is currently undergoing IGTF accreditation
for user and host certificates. We then plan to investigate multiple back
end services from a new OSG front-end service to enable integration and
support of the new technologies and mechanisms needed by our users. We are
participating in the cross-agency MAGIC forum to look at a
high level at some of these futures.
In this talk, we will present our ideas and activities and speculate on the
future.
