1 Day 3 Roadmap and PKI Update

2 When do we get to go home? Report from the BoFs CAMP assessment, next steps PKI technical update Break Research Issues in Middleware Wrap up

3 PKI Technical Update Some emerging distinctions The apps - authn, web authn, s/mime, signed docs, vpn’s, SEVIS The technical basics XKMS and other leavenings KX.509 and Grid Policies and levels of assurance Revisiting revocation – OCSP, CRL, none HE Bridge CA, NIH pilot CREN CA

4 Some emerging themes end-entity vs enterprise PKI X.509 versus non X.509 end-entity new problems: what you see is not what you signed…

5 Why PKI? Single infrastructure to provide all security services Established technology standards, though little operational experience Elegant technical underpinnings Serves dozens of purposes - authentication, authorization, object encryption, digital signatures, communications channel encryption Low cost in mass numbers

6 Why Not PKI? High legal barriers Lack of mobility support Challenging user interfaces, especially with regard to privacy and scaling Persistent technical incompatibilities Overall complexity

7 The apps VPN’s Enterprise authentication App authentication (the web, some Grids, etc.) Encrypted email Signed email and docs SEVIS (http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/services/tempbenefits/sevp.htm)http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/services/tempbenefits/sevp.htm

8 D. Wasley’s PKI Puzzle

9 The Four Planes of PKI on the road to general purpose interrealm PKI the planes represent different levels of simplification from the dream of a full interrealm, intercommunity multipurpose PKI simplifications in policies, technologies, applications, scope each plane provides experience and value

10 The Four Planes are Full interrealm PKI - (Boeing 777) - multipurpose, spanning broad and multiple communities, bridges to unite hierarchies, unfathomed directory issues Simple interrealm PKI - (Regional jets) - multipurpose within a community, operating under standard policies and structured hierarchical directory services PKI-light - (Corporate jets) - containing all the key components of a PKI, but many in simplified form; may be for a limited set of applications; can be extended within selected communities PKI-ultralight (Ultralights) - easiest to construct and useful conveyance; ignores parts of PKI and not for use external to the institution; learn how to fly, but not a plane...

11 Examples of Areas of Simplification Spectrum of Assurance Levels Signature Algorithms Permitted Range of Applications Enabled Revocation Requirements and Approaches Subject Naming Requirements Treatment of Mobility...

12 PKI-Light example CP: Wasley, etal. Draft HE CP stubbed to basic/rudimentary CRL: ? Applications: (Signed email) Mobility: Password enabled Signing: md5RSA Thumbprint: sha1 Naming: dc Directory Services needed: Inetorgperson

13 PKI-Ultralight CP: none CRL: limit lifetime Applications: VPN, Internal web authentication Mobility: not specified Signing: not specified Thumbprint: sha1 Naming: not specified Directory Services needed: none

14 Federal Activities fBCA NIH Pilot ACES fPKI TWG Others – federal S/MIME work Internet2/NIH/NIST research conference...

15 Healthcare HIPAA - Privacy specs issued HIPAA - Security specs not yet done Two year compliance phase-ins Little progress in community trust agreements Non-PKI HIPPA Compliance Options

16 Corporate deployments Success stories within many individual corporations for VPN, authentication No current community ABA guidelines Others...

17 European Efforts Generally a bit more successful; can leverage culture, national licensing structures, passports, etc. Higher ed efforts somewhat tied to national efforts; no trans- Euro work of note. http://www.terena.nl/projects/pki/pki-coord011126minutes- draft.html Have major Grid needs coming in 2005 As always, the directories are hard and ad hoc

18 KX.509 Software that uses a Kerberos ticket to create a temporary certificate (less than 8 hrs; no revocation; etc.) Used for authentication to certificate-based local web services (preload campus roots) in Kerberos realms Out of Michigan; to be polished and released via NMI grant Two parts: server (KCA) that issues certs; client code to manage incoming cert into stores,OS and applications… New service (KCT) to issue Kerberos tickets from certs.
