The European Grid Infrastructure

2 Jun 10 3Kelsey, TNC2010

European e-Infrastructure

• European Data Grid (EDG)– Explore concepts in a testbed

• Enabling Grid for E-sciencE (EGEE)– Moving from prototype to production– Federation started in 2004 (with development since 2001)

• European Grid Infrastructure (EGI)– Routine usage of a sustainable e-infrastructure

4EGI-InSPIRE - EGEE UF5 4

EGI.eu

• A legal entity created in Feb 2010. Offices in Amsterdam.• Operate a secure integrated production grid infrastructure

that seamlessly federates resources from providers around Europe

• Coordinate the support of the research communities using the European infrastructure coordinated by EGI.eu

The EGI-InSPIRE Project Integrated Sustainable Pan-European Infrastructure for Researchers in Europe

• A 4 year project with €25M EC contribution– Project cost €69M– Total Effort ~€330M– Staff ~ 170FTE

The Grid Use Case


Security model• Many 100s Resource Providers (Sites)• Many 10s countries (National Grids)• Many 10,000s of Users (Global Grids)

– In 100s of VOs (each using many Grids)

• Keep AuthN and AuthZ separate• User gets an electronic ID (X.509 cert)• User registers once with the VO

– And does not register with Sites


Security model (2)• Single Sign-on per user session• Common AuthN and AuthZ middleware

– Mutual authentication – client and server

• Authorisation attributes per session from the VO (e.g. VOMS)– Groups, Roles and/or other attributes

• Delegation is essential• Common security policies: AUP, Site & VO

• Running increasingly high workloads:– Jobs in excess of 650k / day;

Anticipate millions / day soon

– CPU equiv. ~100k cores• Workloads are:

– Real data processing– Simulations– Analysis – more and more

(new) users

• Data transfers at unprecedented rates

Federated Identity Management for Grids:The International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF)


Grid Identity Management• International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF)

– Formed in Oct 2005• after 5 years of development in EU DataGrid,

CrossGrid & EUGridPMA

– 3 geographical Policy Management Authorities• EU (plus Middle East/Africa), The Americas, Asia Pacific

• Coordinates a Global PKI (X.509)– Used by many different Grids

• X.509 chosen because it was the best (only?) solution (in 2000) – we need delegation


Identity Management (2)• Keep Authentication and Authorisation

separate– Authentication best done by employing

institute– Authorisation attributes assigned by the

Virtual Organisation (VO)

• IGTF defines minimum requirements and best practices– Accredits CAs against– 3 different authentication profiles

Relying Parties and IGTF

• Relying Party: a consumer of the certificates

• Important aspect of IGTF success• The PMAs allow for membership by

Relying Parties– Important for input of end user

requirements, e.g. naming, LoA, etc.


APGridPMA Plenary Meeting, March 2010 - 23David Groep – [email protected]

Growth issues

A few statistics: 86 trust anchors 3 operational authentication profiles 71 distinct authorities Mid-size CA: 500 active users Large CA: 5000- 20000 users Small CA: 1-10 users Research and educational community

in a small country: ~ 1 000 000 people Number of end-users that understand PKI: << 1 %

How can we maintain both trust and scalability? But not disenfranchise small communities And with a focus on end-to-end security risks

Federated CAs- To make use of other IdM

systems


Grid Certificates from other IdPs

• Two IGTF profiles– Short Lived Credential Service (SLCS)

• Certificate lifetime <1M seconds• Certificates linked to another

authentication system – large site or federation

– Member Integrated Credential Service (MICS)• Longer-lived certificates (<13 months)


Grid & IGTF requirements on federations

• LoA requirements on identity proofing• Persistent and unique naming

• Used for Authorisation and traceability

• Reasonable representation of names– Given name and surname– privacy issues

• Revocation needs to be handled



Federation-based SLCS-only countries

TERENA Certificate Service• A very important recent development• https://www.terena.org/activities/tcs/• Use national AAI federations

– And the already existing IdPs

• Issue certificates quickly and easily to end users – eScience Personal TCS

• Certs issued by a commercial CA• TCS also issues eScience Server certs2 Jun 10 Kelsey, TNC2010 28

certificate– http://www.cilogon.org/

• Australia - ARCS SLCS CA– National federation backed (AAF)– Shibboleth based– http://wiki.arcs.org.au/bin/view/Main/SLCS


Federated Security Policies


32

Policy Interoperability• The Joint (EGEE/WLCG) Security Policy Group

aimed to– prepare simple and general policies– applicable to the primary stakeholders, but– also of use to other Grid infrastructures (NGI's etc)

• common policies eases the problems of interoperability (and scaling)

• Users, VOs and Sites all accept the same policies during their (single) registration (with Grid or VO)

• Other participants then know that their actions are already bound by the policies– No need for additional negotiation, registration or

agreement

Security Policies: from EGEE to EGI

34


EGI Security Policy Group

• Primary stakeholders: NGIs, Sites, Application communities

• Starting with the current set of JSPG policies• SPG will build on this to develop a policy

framework– And produce template policies

• And to address issues not yet fully covered– More formal responsibilities, privacy

35

NRENs and Grids

Advertise the upcoming “NRENs and Grids” workshop at EGI Technical Forum– Jointly organised by TERENA and EGI

• 15 Sep 2010 - Amsterdam• http://www.terena.org/activities/nrens-n-

grids/• Indeed the whole Tech Forum (14-17 Sep)

Future Directions

• Production Grids already “federated”• AuthN scalability being actively addressed

– Will be more use of AAI federations– Number of Grid-specific CAs will decrease– Privacy will become more of an issue

• Will Grids start to use other AuthN middleware?• Control of Authorisation will grow in importance

– Need to define best practice for VO attribute services– work has started in IGTF

• Policy development will continue– e.g. Liabilities, responsibilities and data privacy
