June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) l GSI is: PKI (CAs and Certificates) SSL/ TLS Proxies and Delegation PKI for credentials SSL for Authentication And message protection Proxies and delegation (GSI Extensions) for secure single Sign-on

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) l PKI allows you to know that a given public key belongs to a given user l PKI builds off of asymmetric encryption: –Each entity has two keys: public and private –Data encrypted with one key can only be decrypted with other. –The private key is known only to the entity l The public key is given to the world encapsulated in a X.509 certificate Owner

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Overview l X.509 Certificates l Certificate Authorities (CAs) l Certificate Policies –Namespaces l Requesting a certificate –Certificate Request –Registration Authority Owner

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificates l A X.509 certificate binds a public key to a name l It includes a name and a public key (among other things) bundled together and signed by a trusted party (Issuer) Name Issuer Public Key Signature

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security John Doe 755 E. Woodlawn Urbana IL BD Male 6’0” 200lbs GRN Eyes State of Illinois Seal Certificates l Similar to passport or driver’s license Name Issuer Public Key Signature

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificates l By checking the signature, one can determine that a public key belongs to a given user. Name Issuer Public Key Signature Hash =? Decrypt Public Key from Issuer

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificate Authorities (CAs) l A small set of trusted entities known as Certificate Authorities (CAs) are established to sign certificates l A Certificate Authority is an entity that exists only to sign user certificates l The CA signs it’s own certificate which is distributed in a trusted manner Name: CA Issuer: CA CA’s Public Key CA’s Signature

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificate Authorities (CAs) l The public key from the CA certificate can then be used to verify other certificates Name Issuer Public Key Signature Hash =? Decrypt Name: CA Issuer: CA CA’s Public Key CA’s Signature

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Requesting a Certificate l To request a certificate a user starts by generating a key pair l The private key is stored encrypted with a pass phrase the user gives l The public key is put into a certificate request Certificate Request Public Key Encrypted On local disk

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificate Issuance l The user then takes the certificate to the CA l The CA usually includes a Registration Authority (RA) which verifies the request: –The name is unique with respect to the CA –It is the real name of the user –Etc. Certificate Request Public Key ID

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Certificate Issuance l The CA then signs the certificate request and issues a certificate for the user Certificate Request Public Key Name Issuer Public Key Signature Sign

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Secure Socket Layer (SSL) l Also known as TLS (Transport Layer Security) l Uses certificates and TCP sockets to provide a secured connection –Authentication of one or both parties using the certificates –Message protection >Confidentiality (encryption) >Integrity Certificates TCP Sockets SSL/TLS

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Globus Security Review l GSI extends existing standard protocols & APIs –Based on standards: SSL/TLS, X.509, GSS-API –Extensions for single sign-on and delegation l The Globus Toolkit provides: –Generic Security Services API (GSS-API) on GSI protocols >The GSS-API is the IETF standard for adding authentication, delegation, message integrity, and message confidentiality to applications. –Various tools for credential management, login/logout, etc.

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Kerberos Security l Some Grids use a Kerberos GSS-API. –As far as tools and APIs go, this is not visible. (That’s the point of GSS-API!) –However, it is NOT interoperable with GSI based versions of the Globus Toolkit –Various differences of Kerberos vs GSI: >The security files created “under the covers” are different >Different commands to login, logout, etc. l We will discuss security using GSI (PKI).

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Obtaining a Certificate l The program grid-cert-request is used to create a public/private key pair and unsigned certificate in ~/.globus/: –usercert_request.pem: Unsigned certificate file –userkey.pem: Encrypted private key file >Must be readable only by the owner l Mail usercert_request.pem to l Receive a Globus-signed certificate Place in ~/.globus/usercert.pem l Other organizations use different approaches –NCSA, NPACI, NASA, etc. have their own CA

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Your New Certificate Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 28 (0x1c) Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, O=Globus, CN=Globus Certification Authority Validity Not Before: Apr 22 19:21: GMT Not After : Apr 22 19:21: GMT Subject: C=US, O=Globus, O=NACI, OU=SDSC, CN=Richard Frost Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption RSA Public Key: (1024 bit) Modulus (1024 bit): 00:bf:4c:9b:ae:51:e5:ad:ac:54:4f:12:52:3a:69: b4:e1:54:e7:87:57:b7:d0:61 Exponent: (0x10001) Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption 59:86:6e:df:dd:94:5d:26:f5:23:c1:89:83:8e:3c:97:fc:d8: 8d:cd:7c:7e:49:68:15:7e:5f:24:23:54:ca:a2:27:f1:35:17: NTP is highly recommended

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Important Files l /etc/grid-security –hostcert.pem: certificate used by the server in mutual authentication –hostkey.pem: private key corresponding to the server’s certificate (read-only by root) –grid-mapfile: maps grid subject names to local user accounts (really part of gatekeeper) l /etc/grid-security/certificates –CA certificates: certs that are trusted when validating certs, and thus needn’t be verified –ca-signing-policy.conf: defines the subject names that can be signed by each CA

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Important Files l $HOME/.globus –usercert.pem: User’s certificate (subject name, public key, CA signature) –userkey.pem: User’s private key (encrypted using the user’s pass phrase) l /tmp –Proxy file(s): Temporary file(s) containing unencrypted proxy private key and certificate (readable only by user’s account) >Same approach Kerberos uses for protecting tickets

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Secure Services l On most unix machines, inetd listens for incoming service connections and passes connections to daemons for processing. l On Grid servers, the gatekeeper securely performs the same function for many services –It handles mutual authentication using files in /etc/grid-security –It maps to local users via the gridmap file

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Sample Gridmap File # Distinguished name Local # username "/C=US/O=Globus/O=NPACI/OU=SDSC/CN=Rich Gallup” rpg "/C=US/O=Globus/O=NPACI/OU=SDSC/CN=Richard Frost” frost "/C=US/O=Globus/O=USC/OU=ISI/CN=Carl Kesselman” u14543 "/C=US/O=Globus/O=ANL/OU=MCS/CN=Ian Foster” itf l Gridmap file maintained by Globus administrator l Entry maps Grid-id into local user name(s)

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Simple job submission globus-job-run provides a simple RSH compatible interface % grid-proxy-init Enter PEM pass phrase: ***** % globus-job-run host program [args] l Job submission will be covered in more detail later

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Delegation l Delegation = remote creation of a (second level) proxy credential –New key pair generated remotely on server –Proxy cert and public key sent to client –Clients signs proxy cert and returns it –Server (usually) puts proxy in /tmp l Allows remote process to authenticate on behalf of the user –Remote process “impersonates” the user

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Limited Proxy l During delegation, the client can elect to delegate only a “limited proxy”, rather than a “full” proxy –GRAM (job submission) client does this l Each service decides whether it will allow authentication with a limited proxy –Job manager service requires a full proxy –GridFTP server allows either full or limited proxy to be used

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Restricted Proxies l A generalization of the simple limited proxies –Desirable to have fine-grained restrictions –Reduces exposure from compromised proxies l Embed restriction policy in proxy cert –Policy is evaluated by resource upon proxy use –Reduces rights available to the proxy to a subset of those held by the user >A proxy no longer grants full impersonation rights –Extensible to support any policy language l Will be in future version > GT 2.0

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Exercise Sign-On & Remote Process Creation l Use grid-cert-info to examine your cert: % grid-cert-info -all l Use grid-proxy-init to create a proxy certificate: % grid-proxy-init Enter PEM pass phrase: l Use grid-proxy-info to query proxy: % grid-proxy-info -subject l Use globus-job-run to start remote programs: % globus-job-run jupiter.isi.edu /usr/bin/ls -l /tmp

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security Generic Security Service API l The GSS-API is the IETF draft standard for adding authentication, delegation, message integrity, and message confidentiality to apps –For secure communication between two parties over a reliable channel (e.g. TCP) l GSS-API separates security from communication, which allows security to be easily added to existing communication code. –Filters on each end of the communications link l GSS-API Extensions defined in GGF draft l Globus Toolkit components all use GSS-API

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security What’s Wrong with GSS-API l The GSS-API works, but it is not pretty! –GSS-API accomplishes its goal of providing an API that is independent of any specific security implementation, or communication mechanism –Same application can use either Globus Toolkit GSS-API or Kerberos 5 GSS-API with almost no change –It has rich feature support –But it is not easy to use

June 1, Globus Toolkit™ Developer Tutorial: Security globus_gss_assist l The globus_gss_assist module is a Globus Toolkit specific wrapper around GSS-API which makes it easier to use –Hides some of the gross details of GSS-API –Conforms to Globus Toolkit conventions –Still maintains separation from communication method
