Federated Security in Enterprise Grids
The Grid Authentication and Authorization with Reliably Distributed Services (GAARDS) security infrastructure provides services and tools for the administration and enforcement of security policy in an enterprise Grid. GAARDS was developed on top of the Globus Toolkit and extends the Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) to provide enterprise services and administrative tools for the provisioning of user credentials, provisioning of host credentials, provisioning of a grid trust fabric, creation and management of groups, credential delegation, enforcement of access control policy, web single sign on, and the integration of existing security domains into the Grid, enabling users to use their existing credentials to access the Grid.
In this poster we will provide an overview of the GAARDS Security infrastructure and demonstrate how it can be leveraged and deployed to meet the security requirements and policies of an enterprise Grid.
