What is My. Proxy? l Independent Globus Toolkit add-on since 2000 u l To be included in Globus Toolkit 4. 0 A service for securing private keys u Keys stored encrypted with user-chosen password u Keys never leave the My. Proxy server l A service for retrieving proxy credentials l A commonly-used service for grid portal security u Integrated with OGCE, Grid. Sphere, and Grid. Port Globus.

PKI Overview l Public Key Cryptography u u l Subject: CA Encrypt with public key, decrypt with private key Key Distribution u Issuer: CA Sign with private key, verify signature with public key signs Who does a public key belong to? Certification Authority (CA) verifies user’s identity and signs certificate Certificate is a document that binds the user’s identity to a public key Issuer: CA Subject: Jim Authentication u Signature [ h ( random, … ) ] Globus.

Proxy Credentials l RFC 3820: Proxy Certificate Profile l Associate a new private key and certificate with existing credentials l Short-lived, unencrypted credentials for multiple authentications in a session u l Restricted lifetime in certificate limits vulnerability of unencrypted key Credential delegation (forwarding) without transferring private keys CA signs User signs Proxy A signs Proxy B Globus.

My. Proxy Security l Keys encrypted with user-chosen passwords u u l Dedicated server less vulnerable than desktop and general-purpose systems u l l Professionally managed, monitored, locked down Users retrieve short-lived credentials u l Server enforces password quality Passwords are not stored Generating new proxy keys for every session All server operations logged to syslog Caveat: Private key database is an attack target u Compare with status quo Globus.

Credential Renewal l Long-lived jobs or services need credentials u l Don’t want to delegate long-lived credentials u l Fear of compromise Instead, renew credentials as needed during the job’s lifetime u l Task lifetime is difficult to predict Renewal service provides a single point of monitoring and control Renewal policy can be modified at any time u u Disable renewals if compromise is detected or suspected Disable renewals when jobs complete Globus.
