Dear GIN team, I just released a first news item about the Security Profile Discussions session at OGF23 on our Website. The major aim of this session is to discuss more realistic security profiles than username-password et al. for our production Grids, including authN and authZ technologies. I requested talks from people like Sabine Roller D-Grid, HLRS/Industry-related projects (TBC) or Valerio Venturi EGEE (OGSA-AuthZ group co-chair). With this e-mail I also would like to invite other GIN members to shortly present security-related talks focusing on the use of proxies and/or SAML during production in particular. Anyone interested? Then let us know! @Oscar, for instance: what about a short statement from the MWSG group concerning the topic SAML-based VOMS vs. Attribute-Certificate-based VOMS?
