Authorization

Schedule

Tuesday, 3:30pm - 5:00 pm

Session Leaders

Steve Schwab and Ted Faber, USC/ISI
Tom Mitchell, GENI Project Office

Description

GENI aggregates currently use signed XML credentials to make authorization decisions. At GEC10 we began a one year effort to evaluate ABAC assertions as a more flexible basis for GENI authorization. At this session, that one year is up. We will compare ABAC against the current credentials, and adopt a path forward for GENI. Then we will discuss implementing that decision. We will also review the status of integrating ABAC in existing control frameworks and aggregates.
