17. 17 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Grid Security & Certification l Challenges include u Dynamic group membership and trust relationships within virtual organizations u Complex computational structures extending beyond client-server: delegation u Mission-critical apps and valuable resources l Issues include u Cross-certification u Mechanisms and credentials u Distributed authorization u Secure logging and audit

18. 18 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Trust Mismatch Cross “Certification” Issue Certification Authority Certification Authority Domain A Server X Server Y Policy Authority Policy Authority Task Domain B Sub-Domain A1 Sub-Domain B1 No Cross- Domain Trust

19. 19 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Cross-Certification l Cross-certification at corporate level difficult u Legal implications, liability, bureaucracy ðAddress trust at user/resource level! u Many business relationships do not require involvement of President/CEO … l Virtual organization as bridge u Federate through mutually trusted services u Local policy authorities rule … l Assertions language for trust relationships u WS-Trust, WS-Federation, WS-Policy

20. 20 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Grid Solution: Use Virtual Organization as Bridge Certification Domain A common mechanism Certification Authority Sub-Domain B1 Authority Federation Service Virtual Organization Domain No Cross- Domain Trust

21. 21 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Mechanism and Credential Issue l Different mechanisms & credentials u X.509 vs Kerberos, SSL vs GSSAPI, X.509 vs. X.509 (different domains) u X.509 attribute certs vs SAML assertions l Need for common mechanism u GSI-SecureConversation l Need for credential federation services u Obtain X.509 creds with Kerberos ticket u Obtain Kerberos ticket with X.509 creds u Cross X.509 or Kerberos domains/realms

22. 22 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Example: Kerberos-X.509 Federation l Requestor: Kerberos realm l Server: X.509-based domain (only authenticates requestors with X.509 creds) l VO provides Kerberos-CA federation service u Has Kerberos identity within requestor’s realm u Kerb-CA cert is trusted within server-side VO l Kerb-CA issues (short-lived) X.509-certs that assert requestor’s Kerberos principal name l Requestor’s runtime is “X.509-enabled” l Server’s access control policy within the VO is based on requestor’s Kerberos principal name

23. 23 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Kerberos-X.509 Federation Service Kerberos Realm Requestor X.509 Domain X.509 secured protocol Virtual Organization Domain Kerberos-CA Svc X.509 cert Kerberos Ticket trusts Krb-CA issued certs Server Policy Authority enforcement on requestor's principal name

24. 24 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Grid Authorization/Policy Issue l Resources may not know foreign requestors u Impairs fine-grained policy admin l Outsource policy admin to req’s sub-domain u Enables fine-grained policy u “Community Authorization Service” (CAS) l Resource owner sets course-grained policy rules for foreign domain on “CAS-identity” l CAS sets policy rules for its local users l Requestors obtain capabilities from their local CAS that get enforced at the resource

25. 25 foster@mcs.anl.gov ARGONNE  CHICAGO Community Authorization Service Domain A Policy Authority Domain B Sub-Domain A1 Sub-Domain B1 CAS identity "trusted" Requestor Server request + CAS assertions Virtual Organization Domain capability assertions Community Authorization Svc enforcement on CAS-identity and requestor's capabilities
