SOA3 in plain english: Identity federation and data privacy assurance

SOA3 (pron. soa-cube) is the service-oriented multidomain security solution recently put forward by the Engineering R&D Labs. The SOA3 flexible architecture allows to easily plug-in existing security technologies. SOA3 consists of three core services for authentication, authorization and secure storage. The authentication service provides a common layer to manage heterogeneous authentication credentials. The authorization service streamlines the management and distribution of authorization policies in multidomain enviroments. The secure storage service allows to (a) protect sensitive data on untrusted storage nodes while (b) harnessing grid resources to parallelize encryption via a context-based strategy.

The online demo will present how a grid service can be protected by SOA3. For this purpose, it will be shown how SOA3 can integrate Shibboleth, for identity federation, the MyProxy and the Globus SimpleCA, for X.509 credentials management, and VOMS, for VO attributes management.
