Status of the Adoption of a SAML-XACML Profile for Authorization Interoperability across Grid Middleware 5/17 Goals for Interoperability Agree on common PEP to PDP call-out protocol and implementation in order to… 1. …share and reuse software developed for EGI and OSG, 2. …give software providers (external to the Grid organizations) reference protocols to integrate with both Grids infrastructures, 3. …enable the seamless deployment of software developed in the US or EU in the EU or US security infrastructures.

Status of the Adoption of a SAML-XACML Profile for Authorization Interoperability across Grid Middleware 6/17 Standardization based on experience It takes many trials & errors (…and many years…) to  …put together a collaboration  …agree on a working profile  …implement libraries for multiple languages  …integrate libraries with existing infrastructure – PEP / PDP  …tune the system to production standards  …widely deploy a solution The Authorization Interoperability is being standardized by OGF in 2012 after 5 years Example of Experience-first / Standardize-later as opposed to the more typical approach: Standardize-first / Experience-later Arguably, the resulting standard is “stronger”

Status of the Adoption of a SAML-XACML Profile for Authorization Interoperability across Grid Middleware 7/17 AuthZ Interop is standardized at age  Release XACML profile document: 1+ yr collaboration (OSG, EGEE, Globus, and Condor_  Implementation and integration of XACML AuthZ modules with principal PDPs and PEPs in OSG and EGEE  Demonstrated interoperability of OSG vs. EGEE deployments in ad-hoc scenarios – Goal  Discussion on evolutions of the profile in the context of Argus  Argus extends the interoperability profile  External software providers use the profile as reference on authorization for the Grid Domain. TechX: SVOPME project. Globus: GT5 – Goal  Consolidation of additional OSG PDPs and PEPs  Start migration of PEPs to LCMAPS (Nikhef, NL) as common code base – Goal  Tune client parameters to sustain authz tsunami  Extend profile with proxy validity attributes  Begin OGF standardization – Goal  Plan to complete OGF standardization – Goal 2  Work on profile extension for Cloud Authorization

Status of the Adoption of a SAML-XACML Profile for Authorization Interoperability across Grid Middleware 9/17 Authorization Interoperability and the Cloud The Grid relies on infrastructure that has been made stable and reliable throughout the years. Many communities are now deploying Cloud infrastructure  on-demand user-sized machine instantiation based on virtualization We want to reuse the Grid authorization infrastructure for the Cloud Strategy: extend the authorization interoperability profile and reuse 99% of the implementation for the Grid We seek collaborators
