Security for Collaborating Infrastructures (SCI) Meeting

Europe/London
DFN Berlin

DFN Berlin

Description
The agenda and timings are still draft. SCI is a collaborative activity of security staff from several large-scale distributed computing infrastructures, including EGI, OSG, PRACE, EUDAT, CHAIN, WLCG and XSEDE. Aim of this meeting is to review of the current status of the SCI activity and the SCI document (since our last meeting one year ago); to discuss what we should do and need to do to revitalise the work. There is another activity (called Sirtfi) which has taken our published document from the ISGC proceedings and is working on trust for operational security in the world of Identity Federations. We should discuss whether or not to merge back with that activity. Any official member of the IGTF community interested in the development of security policy standards is welcome to join the meeting.
