43. National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Asia Pacific Grid Policy Management Authority (APGrid PMA) Yoshio Tanaka (yoshio.tanaka@aist.go.jp) APGrid PMA, Chair Grid Technology Research Center, AIST, Japan

44. Background GSI is based on X.509 certificates and PKI. Most organizations are launching their own Certificate Authorities (CA) for issuing end-entity certificates for users, hosts, services. A Virtual Organization (VO) is implemented by federations of multiple security domains. The most popular multi-domain PKI architecture is cross-recognition Independent CAs would somehow be licensed or audited by a mutually recognized trusted authority. e.g. AIST trusts SDG CA operated by CNIC/CAS. CNIC/CAS trusts AIST GRID CA operated by AIST.

45. Background (cont d) Problems of authentication federations All CAs should keep the same level of operation. How the CA is securely operated? Use HSM? Dedicated CA room? … All CAs should have no conflict in policy How the CA identifies end entities? Use face-to-face meeting? Telephone? etc. … Policy Management Authority (PMA) is a coordination body of CA policies and operations.

46. Status of PMAs Currently, there are three regional PMAs EUGrid PMA (established May 2004) Former: EUDG WP6 CA Coordination Group (started in 2002) TAG PMA (going to be established) Former: DOEGrid PMA (started in 2002) APGrid PMA (established June 2004) Unofficially started in 2003 Each regional PMA is responsible for coordination of CA policy within the region coordination of CA policy with the other regional PMAs

47. APGrid PMA: Asia Pacific Grid PMA General Policy Management Authority in Asia Pacific Not specific for ApGrid, Not specific for PRAGMA … Launched on June 1 st, 2004 Defines minimum CA requirements APGrid PMA approved that we accept two levels of CA: Experimental-level CA Alternative of the Globus CA Can be trusted within A-P communities Production-level CA Strict management is necessary Expected to be trusted by international communities

48. History of PMAs GGF7@Tokyo, March 2003 First meeting with EU, DOE, and AP members Agreed with working on forming the Grid PMA. develop minimum requirements develop GridPMA charter Continuous discussions between AP, EU, and TAG PMA for International Grid Trust Federation. GGF12 and EUGrid PMA meeting@Brussels, September 2004 GGF13@Seoul, March 2005 EUGridPMA meeting@Tallinn, May 2005 GGF14@Chicago, Next week We (AP, EU, TAG PMAs) have agreed with trust with each other for the federation.

49. Role of PMAs (examples) Can EGEE trust your CA? How is the procedure for reviewing/accrediting your CA? Does your CA need to be reviewed by individual organizations in EGEE? If the other CA in Asia wish to be trusted by EGEE, is separate review necessary? APGridPMA will accredit your CA. EGEE does not need to review/accredit your CA. Can your organization trust CAs in EGEE? How is the procedure for reviewing? Do you need to review all CAs in EGEE? EUGridPMA will accredit CAs. Both you and APGridPMA do not need to review/accredit CAs in EGEE. If you will launch a new CA that is expected to be trusted by organizations in EGEE, how should you design policy and practices of your CA? APGrid PMA provides minimum CA requirements.
