It will investigate what improvements can be made to encourage and facilitate interoperability between Grid operational infrastructures. It will also consider lessons learned from today's implementations for the Grid security standards activities in GGF for the longer-term future. The workshop will highlight the Life Science perspective with requirements from the biomed VO in EGEE and in the overall biomedical community. Location: Kozani Background: Much effort has been put into the work on Grid Authentication, culminating in the successful launch at GGF15 of the International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF). The work of IGTF and its three regional Policy Management Authorities ensures that Grid Users can obtain a single electronic identity (X.509 certificate) and use this on any Grid infrastructure which has decided to use the CA's from IGTF. Grid Authorization is much less mature. Many large-scale application communities (VOs) are global in nature and have the need to access multiple Grid infrastructures. While Authentication is performed at the employing institute level, the Authorization (AuthZ) assertions need to be controlled at the VO level. The VO (global) policy assertions then need to be combined with local (site-level) policy specifications before an Authorization decision can be made and enforced. There is a very important requirement for interoperability in AuthZ between Grids in terms of protocols and evaluation of the AuthZ/Policy assertions so that different implementations can interwork and reach the same AuthZ decisions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda - Session 1 - Thursday 16th February 2006 10.30-12.00 Grid Authorization - Interoperability Here & Now - #1 (Chair - Åke Edlund) 10.30-10.35 Welcome, introduction and aims of the workshop (David Kelsey) 10.35-11.00 The LHC experiments (particle physics) AuthZ requirements (David Kelsey) 11.00-11.25 The Biomed/EGEE AuthZ requirements (Christophe Blanchet/Rémi Mollon) 11.25-11.50 AuthZ in Open Science Grid (Bob Cowles) 11.50-12.00 Discussion ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda - Session 2 - Thursday 16th February 2006 13.30-15.00 Grid Authorization - Interoperability Here & Now - #2 (Chair: David Kelsey) Panel presentations & discussion - AuthZ interoperability issues and plans Von Welch TeraGrid/OSG interoperation issues David Groep EGEE framework and local PDP's Jens Jensen Data management AuthZ Yuri Demchenko GAAA/GT4 gap analysis Christos Kanellopoulos Ideas on interoperation/interoperability Olle Mulmo Future plans and directions (for GGF) leading into general discussion - recommendations for short-term and mid-term direction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee Christophe Blanchet (CNRS IBCP and EGEE biomed VO deputy) Vincent Breton (CNRS and EGEE Director of Applications activity) Bob Cowles (SLAC and OSG Security co-chair) Ake Edlund (KTH and EGEE Director of Security) David Groep (NIKHEF and IGTF chair) David Kelsey (CCLRC and LCG/EGEE JSPG chair) Olle Mulmo (KTH and GGF Security Area Director) Dane Skow (FNAL and GGF Security Area Director) Von Welch (NCSA and Globus Alliance)
