Specifically, the effort will develop prototypes for security monitoring, evaluating, and reporting software that could be useful to both GENI experimenters and GENI operations. The effort will also perform experiments using decentralized security algorithms that communicate between sensors in a federated system and evaluate and improve the security layer’s usefulness to potential security experimenters. The project team will collaborate with other teams to develop a security architecture for GENI. === Current Capabilities === BRIEF descriptions of resources/functions/tools that are available to anyone in the GENI community === Milestones === == Spiral 4 == * [[MilestoneDate(Hive: S4.a Demonstration and outreach at GEC12)]] * [[MilestoneDate(Hive: S4.b Security Experimentation & Hive Mind based monitoring)]] * [[MilestoneDate(Hive: S4.c Report on Experimentation and Hive Mind demo)]] * [[MilestoneDate(Hive: S4.d Deliver software and documentation)]] == Project Technical Documents == [attachment:2010-9-HiveMindArch.2.pdf Design specification for security framework.] [[BR]] === Software === [attachment:TDMAA-JADE-3.tar.bz2 Very early prototype of monitoring software and distributed sensors.] [[BR]] === Quarterly Status Reports === [wiki:HiveMind-Status-February2011 February 2011 Report] [[BR]] [wiki:HiveMind-Status-March2011 March 2011 Report] [[BR]] [wiki:HiveMind-Status-Dec2011 December 2011 Report] [[BR]] [wiki:HiveMind-Status-March2012 March 2012 Report] === Spiral 2 Connectivity === Links to wiki pages about details of infrastructure that the project is using (if any). Examples include IP addresses, hostnames, URLs, DNS servers, local site network maps, VLANIDs (if permanent VLANs are used), pointers to public keys. GPO may do first drafts of any of these and have the PI correct them to bootstrap. May also include ticket links for pending or known connectivity issues. Many projects will have a full tree of wiki pages here. === Related Projects === Includes non-GENI projects.
