DESCRIPTION: Practical access control using NDG security (Phillip Kershaw) Access control in the NERC DataGrid is accomplished using a combination of WS-Security
to ensure message level integrity, X509 proxy certificates to assert identity, and bespoke XML
tokens to handle authorization. Access decisions are handled by Gatekeepers and mediated
by Attribute Authorities. This paper
describes NDG-security in some detail, and provides details of experiences deploying NDG-
security both in the e-Science funded NDG and the DTI funded Delivering Environmental Web
Services projects. Issues to do with securing large data transfers are discussed. Plans for
the future of NDG-security are outlined; both in terms of application modification and the evolution
of NDG-security itself.
