Security Issues in Grid computing General issues: · Traditional systems are user/client/host centric · Grid computing is data centric Traditional systems: · Protect system from its users · Protect data of one user from compromise In Grid systems: · Protect applications and data from system where computation execute · Stronger/mutual authentication needed (for users and code) u Ensure that resources and data not provided by a attacker · Protect local execution from remote systems · Different admin domains/Security policies © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 3
Security Issues in Grid computing - Components · Authentication u Password based u Kerberos based (authentication and key distribution protocol) u SSL authentication u PKI/Cert based · Authorisation · Integrity and confidentiality u Cryptography · Assurance · Accounting · Audit © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 4
Authentication Traditional systems: · Authenticate user/client to protect system Grid systems: · Mutual authentication required u Ensure that resources and data not provided by a attacker · Delegation of Identity Process that grants one principal the authority to act as another individual u Assume another’s identity to perform certain functions u E. g. , in Globus: use gridmap file on a particular resource to map authenticated user onto another’s account, with corresponding privileges u · Data origin authentication © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 5
Authorisation Traditional systems: · Determine whether a particular operation is allowed based on authenticated identity of requester and local information Grid systems: · Determine whether access to resource/operation is allowed u Access control list associated with resources, principal or authorised programs · Distributed Authorisation Distributed maintenance of authorisation information u One approach: Embed attributes in certificates u – Restricted proxy: authorisation certificate that grants authority to perform operation on behalf of grantor u Alternative: separate authorisation server · Use of CAS (Community Authorisation System) for group authorisation © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 6
Assurance, Accounting, Audit · Assurance u When service is requested, to assure that candidate service provider meets requirements · Accounting u Means of tracking, limiting or changing for consumption of resources · Audit u Record operations performed by systems and associate actions with principals u Find out what went wrong: typical role of Intrusion Detection Systems © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 7
GRID Security Infrastructure (GSI) Current situation: · · · Globus assumes Hierarchical CA architecture with one top-level CA Interdomain authorisation is based on X. 509 identity certificates Authentication and Authorisation Mapping of user certificates to user accounts GSI uses proxy credentials to allow for single sign-on and to provide delegated credentials for use by agent and servers u u Online Credential Retrieval to create and manage proxy certificates Next development: impersonation certificate and restricted delegation certificate GSI problems: · Thousands of users – thousands of Certs – many of CAs (with different policies) · Grid-wide user group and roles are needed u No grid-wide logging or auditing · Need for anonymous users · Protocol to access personal credential for OCR © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 8
GSI Roadmap: Grid Security Requirements · A Grid security solution should be based on existing standards wherever possible. · Grid authentication requirements: Single sign on u Delegation u Integration with various local security solutions u User-based trust relationships u · Grid requirements for communication protection: Flexible message protection u Supports various reliable communication protocols u Supports independent data units (IDU) u · Grid authorization requirements: Authorization by stakeholders u Restricted delegation u © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 9
GSI authentication requirements Single sign on · Users must be able to "log on" (authenticate) just once and then have access to any resource in the Grid that they are authorized to use, without further user intervention. Delegation · A user must be able to endow to a program the ability to run on that user's behalf, so that the program is able to access the resources on which the user is authorized. The program should (optionally) also be able to further delegate to another program. Integration with various local security solutions · Each site or resource provider may employ any of a variety of local security solutions, including Kerberos, Unix security, etc. The Grid security solution must be able to interoperate with these various local solutions. It cannot require wholesale replacement of local security solutions, but rather must allow mapping into the local environment. User-based trust relationships · In order for a user to use resources from multiple providers together, the security system must not require each of the resource providers to cooperate or interact with each other in configuring the security environment. In other words, if a user has the right to use sites A and B, the user should be able to use sites A and B together without requiring the security administrators from sites A and B to interact. © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 10
GSI requirements for communication protection Flexible message protection · An application must be able to dynamically configure a service protocol to use various levels of message protection, including none, just integrity, or integrity plus confidentiality. The choice may be motivated by factors such as sensitivity of the messages, performance requirements, the parties involved in the communication, and the infrastructure over which the message is transiting. Supports various reliable communication protocols · While TCP is the dominant, and widely available, reliable communication protocol for the Internet, the security mechanisms must be usable with a wide assortment of other reliable communication protocols. For example, performance requirements may dictate the use of non-TCP protocols for use within specialized environments. Supports independent data units (IDU) · Some applications require "protection of a generic data unit (such as a file or message) in a way which is independent of the protection of any other data unit and independent of any concurrent contact with designated 'receivers' of the data unit" [1]. For example, streaming media, email, and unreliable UDP datagrams all require this form of protection. © 2001. Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 11
GSI authorization requirements Authorization by stakeholders · Resource owners or stakeholders must be able to control which subjects can access the resource, and under what conditions. Restricted delegation · In order to minimize exposure from compromised or misused delegated credentials, it is desirable to have rich support for the restriction of the authorization rights that are delegated. © 2001.

Online Credential Retrieval (OCR) · Definition: OCR service defines TLS (SSL) protocol extensions to allow delegation of X. 509 Proxy Certificates and secure remote access to private credentials · Goal: to avoid drawbacks in personal management of credentials by users (private key protection, mobile/remote access, need for multiple credentials) · Authentication in GSI is based on proxy credentials Proxy credential consists of proxy certificate and an associated private key u Proxy certificate is an X. 509 certificate that is derived from a standard X. 509 end entity (EE) certificate or another proxy certificate and signed with the private key associated with the source certificate u Proxy credential has limited lifetime to limit vulnerability of the EE private key: user create proxy credential once using its private key u © 2001.

Yu. Demchenko. TERENA GRID Security Infrastructure: Overview and problems 16
OCR Related works IETF SACRED WG · Many of requirements are similar to OCR’s · Difference: u SACRED requirements state that the credential format MUST be opaque to the protocol and the protocol MUST NOT force credentials to be present in cleartext at the server – This requirement disallow X. 509 proxy delegation as defined by OCR requirements IETF PKIX WG OCR performs tasks similar to PKIX online management of credentials (retrieving certificates and certificate revocation lists, online certificate status protocol) u Difference: OCR involves private key that must be kept secret u © 2001.
