2. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 2 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org Outline  Introduction and retro-active rationale  Assurance levels  IGTF ‘common criteria’  Current APs  Towards collaborative differentiated LoA  Distributing elements of trust decision  Use cases for the LiveAP  IOTA AP  Light-weight Identity Vetting Environment: towards LoA 1+  Limitations of a ‘IOTA AP’ and new LoA levels 2013-04-11 Towards differentiated collaborative LoA

3. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 3 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org Redistributing responsibilities 2013-04-11 Towards differentiated collaborative LoA Subject (ID) based Effective LoA is retained For given actions, resources, and acceptable residual risk, required ID assurance is a given can shift ‘line’ in identity trust level Action (app) based More constraint actions can lower need for identity LoA (J)SPG VO Portal policy did just that: 4 levels of actions Resource (value) based e.g. access to wireless network does not pose huge risks, so can live with a lower identity LoA (eduroam) policy ecosystem commensurate to risk level of the participants

5. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 5 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org Collaborative assurance?  PRACE T1 (“DEISA”) centres  Users run applications across the infrastructure  All originate from a home site inside the infrastructure where they are fully known personally and have gone through a thorough vetting process  Home site distributes this knowledge actively towards the other centres (through a central LDAP) So some of the identity elements of trust already done  XSEDE might be similar?  even wLCG is somewhat similar … through CERN HR 2013-04-11 Towards differentiated collaborative LoA I’m hopefully not misrepresenting Jules Wolfrat for PRACE here … redistribution of responsibilities: a new profile?

6. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 6 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org Light-weight ID vetting environment AP  Cater for those use cases where  the RPs (VOs) already collect identity data  this RP (VO) data is authoritative and provides traceability  the ‘identity’ component of the credential is not used  through an AP where the authority provides only  persistent, non-reused identifiers  traceability only at time of issuance  naming be real or pseudonymous (discussion on going!)  good security for issuance processes and systems  and where the RP will have to take care of  subscribers changing name often (in case traceability at issuing authority is lost)  all ‘named’ identity vetting, naming and contact details

7. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 7 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org ‘Light-weight Identity Vetting Environment’  as seen from the IdP/authority side  Must be complemented by the RP to profile full vetting and integrity Vetting LoA scale LoA 0: ‘like conventional unsigned email’ * somewhat my personal view … sorry for bias 1 2 …3,4 RP task

8. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 8 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org From IGTF to RP  IGTF Distribution is not monolithic  Authorities comes in ‘bundles’ for each profile  RPs select one or more ‘profiles’ as sufficient and may add their own authorities as well  e.g: “EGI policy on trusted authorities” accepts Classic, MICS and SLCS And there is no ‘IGTF all’ distribution – on purpose!  With more diverse profiles (and LoAs) RPs will make more diverse choices For your interest: EGI SPG policy on Approval of Certification Authorities, https://documents.egi.eu/document/83

9. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 9 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org LiveAP and its Caveats  Live AP assurance level is different, and rest must be taken up by somebody else  But e.g. in EGI  many communities rely on names to enrol people  communities do not keep much of auditable records  users are a-priori unknown to the resource owners  RPs support loosely organised communities  RPs thus need independent authoritative real names Identity elements identifier management re-binding and revocation binding to entities traceability of entities emergency communications regular communications ‘rich’ attribute assertions correlating identifiers access control

10. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 10 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org Technical trust remains  loosing technical trust would make any authentication infrastructure useless  so integrity of the issuer has to be retained  just like for the AA Operations Guidelines  similar to the classic, mics and slcs profiles  both issuing system and ID management secure  retention of records for incident response When contracting back-end (university) IdPs the requirements must apply to them as well

12. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 12 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org DRAFT LIVE AP Identity  Persistency of name binding  any single subject name in a credential must be linked with one and only one entity for the whole lifetime of the service  Naming  name elements […] sufficient to uniquely identify individual  sourced from ‘reasonable’ systems  real name or pseudonym with compensatory controls:  only in conjunction w/verified name element allowing contact to subject -- and the pseudonymity should be ‘obvious’  Re-issuance, renewal and re-keying  authority should keep enough data to re-vet use of name  Tracability requirements  at issuance time the authority should identify user, and that relationship should be documented and verifiable

13. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 13 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org DRAFT LIVE AP Technical  We expect a secure, on-line CA system  Long-term commitment, security controls and trained personnel  With FIPS140-2 level 3 or equivalent HDM controlling key  2+ tier system on monitored controlled network  revocation capable  so at least better than ssh ;-)  Documented, transparent, policy and practices  Including provisions for auditing by peers  Some requirements propagate back to upstream IdPs!  Credentials in common recognisable formats  Initially X.509v3 certificates, but profile is mostly generic!

14. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 14 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org http://wiki.eugridpma.org/Main/LiveAPSecuredInfra DRAFT will change

15. EUGridPMA Kyiv 2013 meeting – 15 David Groep – davidg@eugridpma.org New Authentication Profile  The AP currently being drafted on  https://wiki.eugridpma.org/Main/LiveAPSecuredInfra  Satisfy RP requirements (PRACE, XSEDE) – and aim to get SARoNGS and CI Logon Basic included  Many things to be decided!  Need for HSM FIPS 140-2 level 3 or 2?  What audit requirements needed?  Real or pseudonymous naming? Robots or not?  Distribution would be through separate ‘bundle’  Next to ‘classic’, ‘mics’, ‘slcs’, and ‘experimental’  Note there never was an ‘all’ bundle for this very reason  RPs will have to make an explicit choice to accept this
