Security & Networking

This talk will present the work of the HEPiX IPv6 working group since the October 2015 HEPiX meeting. Driven by the ATLAS experiment representative, work has included planning for more production dual-stack services to allow for the support of IPv6-only worker nodes/virtual machines in 2017. Guidance for best practices in IPv6 security is also being prepared.

30. perfSONAR Status in WLCG/OSG

Security & Networking

WLCG relies on the network as a critical part of its infrastructure and therefore needs to guarantee effective network usage and prompt detection and resolution of any network issues, including connection failures, congestion and traffic routing. The WLCG Network and Transfer Metrics working group was established to ensure sites and experiments can better understand and fix networking...

42. A virtual private network based on software-defined network architecture for high energy physics scientific data exchange

Fazhi Qi (Chinese Academy of Sciences (CN)), zhihui sun (Institute of High Energy Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences)

19/04/2016, 14:50

Security & Networking

This presentation will detail a software defined virtual private network serving the massive data exchange of HEP(high energy physics) , and introduce a software-defined network crossing different locations among the collaborative members of HEP experiments. An intelligent network route algorithm was also designed to exploit the ipv6 resources for HEP scientific data transfer. The algorithm...

19. Computer Security update

Liviu Valsan (CERN)

19/04/2016, 15:15

Security & Networking

This presentation provides an update on the global security landscape since the last HEPiX meeting. It describes the main vectors of compromise in the academic community including lessons learnt, presents interesting recent attacks and security vulnerabilities while providing recommendations on how to best protect ourselves. It also covers security risks management in general, as well as the...

43. A Network Security self-service platform (NSSP) of IHEP

Security & Networking

Network security has been progressively coming to the attention of the high energy physics (HEP) community. More and more HEP users and system administrators keep worrying about the security of their hosts. In order to help users getting rid of their host vulnerability, we developed and deployed a network security self-service platform (NSSP) in Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), China....

13. Identity Federation for HEP – what are the benefits?

Dave Kelsey (STFC - Rutherford Appleton Lab. (GB))

19/04/2016, 16:35

Security & Networking

Activity in the area of Federated Identity Management has been accelerating. 38 national federations have now joined eduGAIN - the interfederation service will shortly encircle the globe, facilitating collaboration worldwide. There are clear benefits, but do those benefits out way the risks and do they make sense for HEP? We will discuss the need for Federated Identity Management and the...

47. Security and CSIRT in KEK

Tadashi Murakami (KEK)

19/04/2016, 17:00

Security & Networking

The number of cyber security threats are increasing and it gets harder to protect. This presentation will introduce our efforts against the cyber security threats of CSIRT activities, security infrastructures, cultural difficulties, and so on.
