“Abilene” service) • Natively supports IPv4 and IPv6, as well leading edge features of IP including multicast for

both IPv4 and IPv6.

• Carried over a dedicated 10 Gbps backbone wave on the Internet2 Network infrastructure.

• 40Gbps and 100Gbps are potential future enhancements.• Backhaul to the nearest router is included in the IP connection fee. If a

connector would like to go to a different router, they may incur additional fees.

• A connector may obtain, at an additional fee, a geographically diverse connection into the network for redundancy; however, this connection is viewed as a backup and the aggregate traffic flow over the primary and redundant circuit must not exceed that of the primary circuit.

• An additional IP circuit with no such restriction is also available. [Pricing available on request ]

64

65

Middleware Infrastructure

• Focus:• Inter-institutional collaboration• Scalable authenticated/authorized access to

remote resources

• Internet2 role:

• Defining/creating architecture: Shibboleth• Tools to implement: Shibboleth, Grouper, Signet• Infrastructure/Services to scale: InCommon,

USHER

66

Internet2 Middleware:Key Concepts

• Use federated administration as the lever - enterprise brokers most services (authentication, authorization, resource discovery, etc.) in inter-realm interactions

• Develop a consistent directory infrastructure within R&E• Provide security while not degrading privacy• Foster inter-realm trust fabrics: federations and virtual

organizations • Leverage campus expertise and build rough consensus• Influence the marketplace; develop where necessary• Support for heterogeneity and open standards

67

MACE (Middleware Architecture Committee for Education)

• Purpose - to provide advice, create experiments, foster standards, etc.; create working groups

• Membership - Bob Morgan (UW) Chair, Tom Barton (Chicago), Scott Cantor (Ohio State), Steven Carmody (Brown), Michael Gettes (Internet2), Keith Hazelton (Wisconsin), Paul Hill (MIT), Jim Jokl (Virginia), Scotty Logan (Stanford), Mark Poepping (CMU), David Wasley (retired Univ California), Von Welch (Grid)

• International members - Brian Gilmore (Edinburgh), Leif Johansson (Sweden), Diego Lopez (Spain), Rodney McDuff (Australia), Ton Verschuren (Netherlands)

68

National Science Foundation Middleware Initiative (NMI)

• NSF program to support & deploy middleware for R & E• Two types of awards• System Integrators - widely used tools & services

• EDIT – Internet2, EDUCAUSE, SURA• Grids – ISI, Wisconsin, Argonne, Michigan, Indiana

• Other awards - academic pure research components• Issued periodic NMI releases of software, services,

architectures, object classes and best practices • Three rounds of awards – 2001, 2003, and 2007

69

Core Middleware Scope(aka Identity Management functions)

• Identity and Identifiers – namespaces, identifier mappings, real world levels of assurance, etc.

• Authentication – campus technologies and policies, inter-realm interoperability via PKI, Kerberos, etc.

• Directories – enterprise directory services architectures and tools, standard object classes, inter-realm and registry services

• Authorization – permissions and access controls, delegation, privacy management, etc.

• Integration Activities – open management tools, use of virtual, federated and hierarchical organizations, enabling common applications with core middleware

70

Landmark Work

• Consensus standards – eduPerson, eduOrg, eduMember, eduCourse, commObject (H.350)

• Best Practices and Deployment Strategies – LDAP Recipe, Group Management, Metadirectories, Enterprise Directory and Authentication Implementation Roadmaps

• Tools – KX.509, LDAP Analyzer, LOOK

Landmark Work

• Software systems – OpenSAML, Shibboleth, Signet, Grouper

• Outreach – CAMPs, presentations, publications, case studies, Extending the Reach program

• Services – InCommon Federation, USHER (PKI)

73

Federated Identity Model•Leverages enterprise identity for inter-realm purposes • Uses local authentication• Allows variety of authentication options

•Passes agreed upon authentication and attributes (identifiers, affiliations, memberships, entitlements)

•Based on privacy, security, and trust as critical issues

•More scalable

74

What is a Federation?A coalition of collaborating organizations• supporting agreed upon policies• leveraging existing identity and resource

management technologies

to permit fine-grained• privacy control for online individuals and• resource protection for a wide variety of online

services and information.

Offers flexible, largely scalable privacy- preserving Identity Management infrastructure

75

Federation Fundamentals• Members sign a contract to join• Members must still create Business Relationships

with each other• Bilateral relationships can impose additional policy• The Federation does NOT• Collect or assert anything, except the necessary

metadata about member signing keys, etc.• Authenticate end users• Provide services, though it may be associated with

groups or buying clubs

identities and attributes can use capabilities of collaboration tools • Can offer delegation, privacy management,

and maybe even diagnostics• Goal – to develop “platform” for handling

identity management aspects of many different collaboration tools

88

Security

Relationship between Middleware and Security

• Middleware = well-defined infrastructure layer

• Security = more like an attitude, not crisply defined, spans all layers

90

Integrated Systems Model

91

Security

• Much of the middleware work, in its identity management and access control areas, is also a large part of the security space

• Security for Internet2 services• Salsa as the point for member engagement• Development of new security capabilities• Short time horizon• Medium time horizon• Long time horizon

92

Federated Identity Management

• Federated identity leverages institutional Identity Management in inter-institutional settings

• By itself, federated identity can provide significant security value – enables flexible LOAs, improves privacy, etc.

• As a new layer of infrastructure, it can be leveraged to provide new security services• Improved guest access usability & accountability• Privilege management for virtual organizations

Biotech Data's BIG BANG

It's like Moore's Law on steroids:

The total volume of biological data worldwide,having doubled every 18 months in recent years,is now doubling every half a year to three months.And this isn't a momentary spike, but a long-term trend that may require new ways to measure, analyze and mine biological databases.

Cyberinfrastructure

Russ Hobby, Internet2Internet2 Member Meeting

8 October 2007

Cyberinfrastructure?

• Ask any number of people “What is Cyberinfrastructure?” and you will probably get an equal number of definitions

• We need a common understanding of CI in order to build and operate it.

The Nature of Research Today

• Discipline groups working on a common project.

• The groups are made of researchers from multiple institutions.

• They use the network in support of Virtual Organizations (VOs)

Example Researcher using CI

Jane is an environmental researcher and is going to find a solution to Global Warming. To do this she needs to collect and store data, do analysis of the data and run some simulation models to test her hypothesis. She will share ideas, data and results with her Discipline Group. Here are her steps in using CI

Traditional Grid Computing

• Built by Supercomputer Sites or in Researcher’s Labs

• Support internal to discipline

• Campus IT generally not involved• There have been problems with facilities

in researcher’s labs (power, HVAC, network)

Moving into CI

• Disciplines new to CI are doing their planning, but expect others to provide it.

• Campus IT organizations starting to get more involved

• Supporting organizations are figuring out how to work together.

Who Worries about the Network?

• Generally not the Researchers

• Those that provide services to the researchers• The discipline IT support group• Campus IT organizations• Supercomputer sites• Grid Organizations

CI is not just for Researchers

The current focus on CI is its use by Researchers. However this is an emerging technology that will be used by all, just as the individual computer and the Internet has become a regular work tool.

CI Days Workshops

TeraGrid, Open Science Grid, NLR, Internet2, EDUCAUSE, and the IRNC have come together to try to help better understand the CI picture, and to better coordinate functions and roles in the creation of this infrastructure. One activity started by this group is “CI Days” held for campuses to assist in their CI planning. This workshop brings together players from the campus, region and nation to share information and plan how to provide CI functions for the campus. The national and regional groups will also learn the campus needs to help better direct the evolution of the services.

UC Davis CI Days

• Focused on Research use of CI

• Co-hosted by the CIO and Vice Provost for Research

• Presentations from National and Regional Organizations, Campus Colleges and IT.

• Breakout Group discussions with reports to start the planning process

• http://vpiet.ucdavis.edu/cyberinfrastructure.cfm

Regional CI Days

• Serve as a way to scale CI Days• Representatives from campuses can go

home and expand the experience for their campus environment

• What format?• Use host campus as a case study?• Just cover methodology for CI Days?

• In the queue• NYSGrid• New Mexico

Other Activities

• Presentations and Workshops

• CI Days Web/Wiki

• Collect Campus CI Plans• Let campuses share their plans with others on

the CI Days Wiki

Russ’ CI Vision

Set of tools and resources that allow:• Computation and Storage to easily allow transition

from the desktop, to the campus resource, to the regional center, to national super centers using the same software.• Data repositories in formats and locations to allow

ease of sharing among all interested disciplines (the real digital library!)• Tools to allow people to easily construct systems to

analyze, visualize and simulate their research subjects.• Collaboration tools that allow people to work together

like they are in the same room, even if they aren’t.
