24. Mobility at CERN

Sebastien Ceuterickx (CERN)

29/10/2013, 16:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

With the dramatic increase of wireless-capable devices, Wi-Fi connectivity has become an essential network service on a par with the traditional cabled network. The evolution of the CERN Wi-Fi infrastructure will be presented, including the BYOD strategy and the integration of eduroam. The deployment considerations for large conference rooms and underground facilities will also be addressed.

25. Latest changes on CERN networks

Sebastien Ceuterickx (CERN)

29/10/2013, 16:30

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

The latest changes on the CERN network infrastructure will be presented. This includes the deployment of IPv6, the network connectivity for the Data Centre extension at Wigner and the upgrade of the network infrastructure for Business Continuity. The second part of the talk will give an overview of the implementation of a new, safety-related wireless network (TETRA).

52. Deploying perfSONAR-PS for WLCG: An Overview

Shawn Mc Kee (University of Michigan (US))

29/10/2013, 17:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

The WLCG infrastructure has evolved from its original restrictive network topology, based on the MONARC model, to a more interconnected system, where data movement between regions or countries does not necessarily need to involve T1 centers. While this evolution brought obvious advantages, especially in terms of flexibility for the LHC experiment’s data management systems, it also raises the...

26. The HEPiX IPv6 Working Group

Dave Kelsey (STFC - Science & Technology Facilities Council (GB))

30/10/2013, 09:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

An update on the activities of the group in IPv6 testing and planning since the Bologna meeting.

35. Security update

Mr Romain Wartel (CERN)

30/10/2013, 09:30

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

This presentation provides an update of the security landscape since the last meeting. It describes the main vectors of compromises in the academic community and presents interesting recent attacks. It also covers security risks management in general, as well as the security aspects of the current hot topics in computing, for example identity federation and virtualisation.

56. Identity Management in Future Scientific Collaborations

Bob Cowles (Indiana University / CACR)

30/10/2013, 10:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

Scientific collaborations are evolving to a model where large, multi-dimensional data sets are analyzed in whole or in part by relatively small groups of researchers. These groups are often without the expertise and/or resources to develop and maintain a sophisticated IT infrastructure and represent the growing "long tail of science". The presentation will discuss the evolving structures and...

27. Federated Identity Management for HEP

Dave Kelsey (STFC - Science & Technology Facilities Council (GB))

30/10/2013, 11:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

There is much activity in the area of identity management for research communities. This talk will present the current status of this work and explore possible future options for WLCG and HEP more generally.

34. Evolution of the OSG Authentication Model

kevin hill

30/10/2013, 11:30

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

The Open Science Grid (OSG) has undergone some changes in its authentication model for user job submission. This talk will outline changes already implemented as well as future plans as they stand now, together with the use cases that motivated them.

36. Technical security tips and techniques

Mr Romain Wartel (CERN)

30/10/2013, 12:00

Security & Networking

Oral presentation

This is an interactive technical session aimed at system administrators, and presenting several Linux tools and tips that can be used to both drastically reduce the chance of root compromise, as well as increase the amount information available during forensics. (This session is not necessarily meant to be a general presentation for the audience and can also be a dedicated BoF.)
