Main points

• Revise the architecture of the current AA solution of gCube to enhance its reusability
  • This starting phase of the project offers the possibility to plan the introduction of new technological solutions
  • Most of the activities of this period have this goal
  • The center of T8.2 should be the definition and the implementation of the Policy Infrastructure, which will manage and enforce the policies of the infrastructure
  • The starting point of the Policy Infrastructure is what produced in D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative., but it should be improved in coordination with WP5
  • A guideline of the evolution of the current Policy Infrastructure could be the possibility to make more fine grained and modular policies
• Interoperability
  • The secure infrastructure should be interoperable with external infrastructures, but the priorities depend on the specific infrastructure and should be evaluated step by step
• Federated accounting
  • The starting point is the accounting solution developed by CERN for D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative.
• Data Encryption and data anonymisation will be required for some activities: references could be find in WP9
• Identity federation is not required
• Auditing currently has lowest priority

High priorities

• The integration of the Scoping module with the Authorization module
• Starting to define the feature of the policies in order to produce a plan of evolution of the current system
• Put the secure infrastructure into production environment: this has not highest priorities because the integration of services is not completed
