Dear all, We really sorry for not being able to attend the next GGF meeting, but on the other hand a couple of weeks ago we hosted here in Barcelona TERENA's TF-EMC2 meeting (presentations can be found in http://www.terena.nl/tech/task-forces/tf-emc2/meetings/sep05/agenda.html) and we had the opportunity to introduce CertiVeR's OCSP validation infrastructure for Grids. Such system is composed of two elements: -In first place an OCSP Service which is currently configured as a Trusted/Authorized Responder for several Grid PKIs. As mentioned in TERENA's meeting, at this moment such service is being tested (Pilot Phase) and offered free of charge for those CAs whishing to use it. The list of CAs being served will grow in the next days, so please let us know your comments or questions about it. More information about the service can be obtained from: http://globus-grid.certiver.com/info/ -In second place as mentioned weeks ago in this list, we have *finally* released the first version of the Open GRid Ocsp -OGRO- client API (Java version). This client implements a "Grid Validation Policy", consisting of a set of XML-rules to provide OCSP validation for Grid, taking into consideration several of the issues discussed in this group. As a proof of concept we have integrated it into the Java CoG 4 libraries (example available in OGRO's web page) and also into GT4's WSRF Java Core (example to be released in the following days also). OGRO is being offered with a GNU GPL license, so please feel free to use it. You can find more information in: http://globus-grid.certiver.com/info/ogro/index.html We hope to release soon more technical details about OGRO-CertiVeR-GT4 (benchmarks, optimized validation policies, etc.), but in the meantime we will appreciate your comments, questions, bugs reports, etc. Best regards! -- ____________________ Jesus Luna Garcia PhD Student.
