Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid builds the framework for sharing biomedical research information 4 The deciphering of the human genome offers insight into the development of numerous therapies, predictors, and markers for cancer 4 Annotated human biospecimens with detailed clinical information offers an unprecedented opportunity for the robust identification and accurate quantitation of molecular signatures of cancer, thereby accelerating the development and implementation of new cancer markers and therapies 4 The lack of common infrastructure has prevented life science research institutions from being able to mine and analyze disparate data sources 4 The inability to share technologies and data developed by different cancer research institutions can severely hamper the research process 4 The NCI Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB) created the project cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (ca. BIGTM) and built the ca. Grid 0. 5 prototype to satisfy simple data integration and sharing use cases Tech Day VI 2

Federated Authentication Scenarios 4 Non-ca. Grid Certificate. John Smith wants to use the X. 509 certificate obtained from a 3 rd party Certification Authority to access ca. BIG services 4 ca. Grid-Certificate. John Smith uses ca. Grid X. 509 certificate to access ca. BIG services 4 No Certificate. John Smith wants to use the Email username and password to access ca. BIG services 4 Implications – ca. Grid needs to accept credentials of different assurance levels – Assurance levels are defined by 1) the identity proofing process, AND 2) the credential itself – In the identity federation environment, the architecture needs to accommodate existing credentials rather than creating new credentials – Credential management will fall on the organization who issues the credential Tech Day VI 15

Identity and Access Management (Id. AM Framework) Tech Day VI 27
Architecture and Technology Recommendations Develop “business-oriented” security use and abuse cases. ca. BIG™ should develop “business-oriented” security use cases to represent community processes. The technical focus of the current security use cases (iteration 2) does not represent the actual security requirements from the ca. BIG™ community. Since identity federation relies more on process than technology, this white paper defines a set of federated authentication and authorization scenarios as a basis to develop the notional architecture. The ca. BIG™ community should conduct further scenario definition and refinement to promote a more comprehensive federation architecture. Vet the Federated Identity Management (FIM) requirements and the notional architecture. The FIM requirements and the notional architecture are straw man efforts that the ca. BIG™ community should vet extensively to validate that all security use cases are satisfied before the production implementation. The proposed notional architecture focuses solely on authentication and authorization. Other core identity and access management (Id. AM) and supporting services will evolve as the “business-oriented” security use cases are developed. Proof-of-concept (POC) implementation. Due to the complexity of the evaluated technologies, a POC implementation of the notional architecture would provide greater clarity into the accuracy of the security use case development and how the notional architecture best applies. The POC should be built on top of the ca. BIG™ 0. 5 release, however, many implementation requirements need to be evaluated. Consider the maturity of technologies. Very few technologies in the evaluation list have been deployed in a large scale of production environment. Many evaluated technologies have very limited development resources that would impact the quality and the capability of production support once the software is released. Tech Day VI 28
Policy and Regulatory Environment Recommendations Develop ca. BIG™ Governance Policies. A successful security implementation requires policies in many layers. For example, the capstone policies (e. g. HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, trust agreements), the enabling standards, guidelines, procedures (e. g. Identity proofing), and data standards (e. g. Authorization Attributes) should be developed along with the Id. AM mechanism. Facilitate Cross-Cutting Policy Development. A successful security implementation requires policies in many layers. For example, the capstone policies (e. g. HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, trust agreements), the enabling standards, guidelines, procedures (e. g. Identity proofing), and data standards (e. g. Authorization Attributes) should be developed along with the Id. AM mechanism. Identify the minimum security requirements from the regulatory mandates. Security and privacy requirements from regulatory mandates are the minimum security requirements ca. BIG needs to comply. Although HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 were reviewed in this whitepaper, it’s strictly from the identity federation point of view. A comprehensive review should be conducted to capture all security and privacy requirements. It is likely those requirements will impact many workspaces and working groups in ca. BIG. Consider separating regulated and non-regulated environments. Ensure a non-grid application to comply with regulatory requirements takes significant efforts and cost. Mixing regulatory and nonregulatory applications will elevate the required security controls, which is not necessary for many non-regulatory applications. ca. BIG should consider the design option of separating the technical architecture layer of regulated and non-regulated environments and enabling the data sharing at the semantic layer. Tech Day VI 29
Process and Execution Recommendations 4 Create an “Independent and Integrated” cross-cutting security working group. – Domain workspaces are disconnected from security implementation – No consolidated (from domain workspaces) security requirements – Inconsistent security messages from different domain workspaces – Lack of resource for security architecture to bridge the ca. BIG™ security principles an implementation 4 Develop a security engineering process. – The security engineering process (SEP) will specify roles and responsibilities, identify process steps, and define inputs and deliverables. The security working group (if created) should use the SEP to ensure security is integrated into domain workspaces, security architecture is defined and vetted, and implementation is aligned.

The real challenges of cross-institutional data sharing is political and cultural not technical 4 The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is the ultimate authority for defining security and privacy compliance policies. To share sensitive medical information among institutions would require IRBs’ approval and an individual trust agreement needs to be established (n^2 problem) 4 Currently, two data sharing mechanisms among institutions: – Public data, no access control is required – Sensitive data, access control is required The concept of assurance level does not exist in the current practices of healthcare industry 4 Healthcare SOA security problems are complex as epitomized by – Infrastructure Gaps: Some institutions are using Excel sharing data while some are using biomedical informatics systems – Scientific vs. Engineering Mindset: Enthusiastic about technologies, needs to understand the importance of having an integrated engineering process – Regulatory Compliance: IRBs are very conservative in crafting data sharing policies. Large scale agreement is difficult Tech Day VI 33
