8. ARKNet 2001 Partnerships EDUCAUSE CREN Grids, JA-SIG, OKI Campuses Higher Ed professional associations - AACRAO, NACUA, CUMREC, etc. Increasing international interactions Corporate - IBM, SUN, ATT, etc.

9. ARKNet 2001 Remedial IT architecture The proliferation of customizable applications requires a centralization of “customizations” The increase in power and complexity of the network requires access to user profiles Electronic personal security services is now an impediment to the next-generation computing grids Inter-institutional applications require interoperational deployments of institutional directories and authentication

10. ARKNet 2001 What is Middleware? Specialized networked services that are shared by applications and users A set of core software components that permit scaling of applications and networks Tools that take the complexity out of application integration Sits above the network as the second layer of the IT infrastructure A land where technology meets policy The intersection of what networks designers and applications developers each do not want to do

11. ARKNet 2001 Specifically, Digital libraries need scalable, interoperable authentication and authorization. The Grid as the new paradigm for a computational resource, with Globus the middleware, including security, location and allocation of resources, scheduling, etc. relies on campus- based services and inter-institutional standards Instructional Management Systems (IMS) needs authentication and directories Next-generation portals want common authentication and storage Academic collaboration requires restricted sharing of materials between institutions What I1 did with communication, I2 may do with collaboration

12. ARKNet 2001 A Map of Middlewareland Network-layer middleware Core middleware Academic Computing Upperware Research Oriented Upperware Business Upperware

13. ARKNet 2001 The Grid A model for a distributed computing environment, addressing diverse computational resources, distributed databases, network bandwidth, object brokering, security, etc. Globus (www.globus.org) is the software that implements most of these components; Legion is another such software environment Needs to integrate with campus infrastructure Gridforum (www.gridforum.org) umbrella activity of agencies and academics Look for grids to occur locally and nationally, in physics, earthquake engineering, etc.

14. ARKNet 2001 Core Middleware Identity - unique markers of who you (person, machine, service, group) are Authentication - how you prove or establish that you are that identity Directories - where an identity’s basic characteristics are kept Authorization - what an identity is permitted to do PKI - emerging tools for security services

15. ARKNet 2001 What is the nature of the work? Technological Establish campus-wide services: name space, authentication Build an enterprise directory service Populate the directory from source systems Enable applications to use the directory Policies and Politics Clarify relationships between individuals and institution Determine who manages, who can update and who can see common data Structure information access and use rules between departments and central administrative units Reconcile business rules and practices

16. ARKNet 2001 What are the benefits to the institution? Economies for central IT - reduced account management, better web site access controls, tighter network security... Economies for distributed IT - reduced administration, access to better information feeds, easier integration of departmental applications into campus-wide use... Improved services for students and faculty - access to scholarly information, control of personal data, reduced legal exposures... Participation in future research environments - Grids, Videoconferencing, etc. Participation in new collaborative initiatives - DoD, Shibboleth, etc.

17. ARKNet 2001 What are the costs to the institution? Modest increases in capital equipment and staffing requirements for central IT Considerable time and effort to conduct campus wide planning and vetting processes One-time costs to retrofit some applications to new central infrastructure One-time costs to build feeds from legacy source systems to central directory services The political wounds from the reduction of duchies in data and policies

18. ARKNet 2001 OIDs to reference identifiers Numeric coding to uniquely define many middleware elements, such as directory attributes and certificate policies. Numbering is only for identification (are two oids equal? If so, the associated objects are the same); no ordering, search, hierarchy, etc. Distributed management; each campus typically obtains an “arc”, e.g. 1.3.4.1.16.602.1, and then creates oids by extending the arc, e.g 1.3.4.1.16.602.1.0, 1.3.4.1.16.602.1.1, 1.3.4.1.16.602.1.1.1 More info at: http://middleware.internet2.edu/a-brief-guide-to- OIDs.doc

19. ARKNet 2001 Major campus identifiers UUID Student and/or emplid Person registry id Account login id Enterprise-lan id Student ID card Netid Email address Library/deptl id Publicly visible id (and pseudossn) Pseudonymous id

20. ARKNet 2001 General Identifier Characteristics Uniqueness (within a given context) Dumb vs intelligent (i.e. whether subfields have meaning) Readability (machine vs human vs device) Affordance (centrally versus locally provided) Resolver approach (how identifier is mapped to its associated object) Metadata (both associated with the assignment and resolution of an identifier) Persistence (permanence of relationship between identifier and specific object) Granularity (degree to which an identifier denotes a collection or component) Format (checkdigits) Versions (can the defining characteristics of an identifier change over time) Capacity (size limitations imposed on the domain or object range) Extensibility (the capability to intelligently extend one identifier to be the basis for another identifier).

21. ARKNet 2001 Important Characteristics Semantics and syntax- what it names and how does it name it Domain - who issues and over what space is identifier unique Revocation - can the subject ever be given a different value for the identifier Reassignment - can the identifier ever be given to another subject Opacity - is the real world subject easily deduced from the identifier - privacy and use issues

22. ARKNet 2001 Identifier Mapping Process Map campus identifiers against a canonical set of functional needs For each identifier, establish its key characteristics, including revocation, reassignment, privileges, and opacity Shine a light on some of the shadowy underpinnings of middleware A key first step towards the loftier middleware goals

23. ARKNet 2001 Authentication Options Password based Clear text LDAP Kerberos (Microsoft or K5 flavors) Certificate based Others - challenge-response, biometrics Inter-realm is now the interesting frontier

24. ARKNet 2001 Cuttings: Authentication User side management - crack, change, compromise Central side password management - change management, OS security First password assignment - secure delivery Policies - restrictions or requirements on use

25. ARKNet 2001 Some Authentication Good Practices Pre-crack new passwords Pre-crack using foreign dictionaries as well as US Confirm new passwords are different than old Require password change if possibly compromised Use shared secrets or positive photo-id to reset forgotten passwords USmail a one-time password (time-bomb) In-person with a photo id (some require two) For remote faculty or staff, an authorized departmental rep in person coupled with a faxed photo-id. Initial identification/authentication will emerge as a critical component of PKI

26. ARKNet 2001 Directory Issues Applications Overall architecture Chaining and referrals, Redundancy and Load Balancing, Replication, synchronization, Directory discovery The Schema and the Directory Information Tree (DIT) attributes, ou’s, naming, object classes, groups Attributes and indexing Management clients, delegation of access control, data feeds

27. ARKNet 2001 Directory-enabled Applications Email Account management Web access controls Portal support Calendaring Grids

28. ARKNet 2001 A Campus Directory Architecture Metadirectory Enterprise directory Dir DB Departmental directories OS directories (MS, Novell, etc) Border directory Registries Source systems

29. ARKNet 2001 Key Architectural Issues Interfaces and relationships with legacy systems Performance in searching Binding to the directory Load balancing and backups are emerging but proprietary Who can read or update what fields How much to couple the enterprise directory with an operating system http://www.georgetown.edu/giia/internet2/ldap-recipe/

30. ARKNet 2001 Schema and DIT Good Practices People, machines, services Be very flat in people space Keep accounts as attributes, not as an ou Replication and group policies should not drive schema RDN name choices rich and critical Other keys to index Creating and preserving unified name spaces

31. ARKNet 2001 Attribute Good Practices INetOrgPerson, eduPerson, localPerson Never repurpose an RFC defined field; add new attributes Adding attributes is easier than thought Keep schema checking on, unless it is done in the underlying database; watch performance Most LDAP clients do not treat multi-valued attributes well, but doing multiple fields and separate dn’s no better.

32. ARKNet 2001 Management Good Practices No trolling permitted; more search than read LDAP client access versus web access Give deep thought to who can update Give deep thought to when to update LDIF likely to be replaced by XML as exchange format Delegation of control - scalability “See also”, referrals, replication, synchronization in practice Replication should not be done tree-based but should be filtered by rules and attributes

33. ARKNet 2001 PKI First thoughts Fundamentals - Components and Contexts The missing pieces - in the technology and in the community Higher Ed Activities (CREN, HEPKI-TAG, HEPKI-PAG, Net@edu, PKI Labs)

34. ARKNet 2001 PKI: A few observations Think of it as wall jack connectivity, except it’s connectivity for individuals, not for machines, and there’s no wall or jack…But it is that ubiquitous and important Does it need to be a single infrastructure? What are the costs of multiple solutions? Subnets and ITPs... Options breed complexity; managing complexity is essential PKI can do so much that right now, it does very little. IP connectivity was a field of dreams. We built it and then the applications came. Unfortunately, here the applications have arrived before the infrastructure, making its development much harder. No one seems to be working on the solutions for the agora.

35. ARKNet 2001 Uses for PKI and Certificates Authentication and pseudo-authentication Signing docs Encrypting docs and mail Non-repudiation Secure channels across a network Authorization and attributes Secure multicast and more...

36. ARKNet 2001 PKI Components X.509 v3 certificates - profiles and uses Validation - Certificate Revocation Lists, OCSP, path construction Certificate management - generating certs, using keys, archiving and escrow, mobility, etc. Directories - to store certs, and public keys and maybe private keys Trust models and I/A Cert-enabled apps

37. ARKNet 2001 PKI Contexts for Usage Intracampus Within the Higher Ed community of interest In the Broader World

38. ARKNet 2001 PKI Implementation Options In-source - with public domain or campus unique In-source - with commercial product Bring-in-source - with commercial services Out-source - a spectrum of services and issues what you do depends on when you do it...

DIT planning 1 Tbsp Schema design 3 oz. configuration 1000 lbs of data Good details, such as tradeoffs/recommendations on indexing, how and when to replicate, etc. http://www.georgetown.edu/giia/internet2/ldap-recipe/

46. ARKNet 2001 eduPerson A directory objectclass intended to support inter-institutional applications Fills gaps in traditional directory schema For existing attributes, states good practices where known Specifies several new attributes and controlled vocabulary to use as values. Provides suggestions on how to assign values, but it is up to the institution to choose. Presumes campuses to add local person objectclass. A joint effort of EDUCAUSE and I2

47. ARKNet 2001 Issues about Upper Class Attributes eduPerson inherits attributes from person, inetorgperson Some of those attributes need conventions about controlled vocabulary (e.g. telephones) Some of those attributes need ambiguity resolved via a consistent interpretation (e.g. email address) Some of the attributes need standards around indexing and search (e.g. compound surnames) Many of those attributes need access control and privacy decisions (e.g jpeg photo, email address, etc.)

48. ARKNet 2001 Examples of eduPerson Attributes eduPersonAffiliation multi-valued list of relationships an individual has with institution controlled vocabulary includes:faculty, staff, student, alum, member, affiliate,employee applications that use: DoD, white pages eduPersonPrinicipleName userid@securitydomain EPPN may look like an email address but it is used by different systems One must be able to authenticate against the EPPN Used in inter-realm authentication such as Shibboleth In some situations it can be used for access control lists; if used, a site should make sure what the reassignment policy is.

49. ARKNet 2001 Next Steps eduPerson 1.0 done, along with FAQ and letter to implementers Ties closely to LDAP recipe Version 2.0 to include attributes for videoconferencing, additional collaboration factors, links to Grids, portals, etc. Check with web site for additional changes Participate: mace-dir@internet2.edu

52. ARKNet 2001 Shibboleth A word which was made the criterion by which to distinguish the Ephraimites from the Gileadites. The Ephraimites, not being able to pronounce sh, called the word sibboleth. See --Judges xii. Hence, the criterion, test, or watchword of a party; a party cry or pet phrase. - Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

53. ARKNet 2001 Shibboleth Inter-institutional web authentication and basic authorization Authenticate locally, act globally - the Shibboleth shibboleth Emphasizes privacy through progressive disclosure of attributes Linked to commercial standards development in XML through OASIS Scenarios done; architecture next; implementation by fall Strong partnership with IBM to develop and deploy http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth

54. ARKNet 2001 Isn’t This What PKI Does? PKI does this and a whole lot more; as a consequence, PKI does very little right now End-to-end PKI fits the Shibboleth model, but other forms of authentication do as well Uses a lightweight certificate approach for inter-institutional communications - uses the parts of PKI that work today (server side certs) and avoids the parts of PKI that don’t work today (eg client certs). Allows campuses to use other forms of authentication locally May actually have benefits over the end-user to target-site direct interactions...

58. ARKNet 2001 Stage 1 - Addressing Three Scenario’s Member of campus community accessing licensed resource Anonymity required Member of a course accessing remotely controlled resource Anonymity required Member of a workgroup accessing controlled resources Controlled by unique identifiers (e.g. name) Taken individually, each of these situations can be solved in a variety of straightforward ways. Taken together, they present the challenge of meeting the user's reasonable expectations for protection of their personal privacy.

59. ARKNet 2001 Model Local Authentication Local Entity Willing to Create and Sign Entitlement Set of assertions about the user (Attribute/value pairs) User has control over disclosure Identity optional “active member of community”, “Associated with Course XYZ” Target responsible for Authorization Rules engine Matches contents of entitlements against ruleset associated with target object Cross Domain Trust Previously created between origin and target Perhaps there is a contract (information providers..)
