ItemAdvanced security infrastructures for grid education( 2006)This paper describes the research conducted into advanced authorization infrastructures at the National e-Science Centre (NeSC) at the University of Glasgow and their application to support a teaching environment as part of the Dynamic Virtual Organisations in e-Science Education (DyVOSE) project. We outline the lessons learnt in teaching Grid computing and rolling out the associated security authorisation infrastructures, and describe our plans for a future, extended security infrastructure for dynamic establishment of inter-institutional virtual organisations (VO) in the education domain.

ItemPortal-based access to advanced security infrastructures(National e-Science Centre, University of Glasgow, 2008)Security and scalable user management is one of the key challenges facing the e-Research community. The very nature of deploying new Gridenabled services involves the adoption of robust and highly complex underlying technologies such as PKIs. When used correctly, these tools allow many problems in the security domain to be tackled effectively, however in the hands of the inexperienced user, the complexities of building and using these technologies can expose the system to the same weaknesses that the system is trying to mitigate.
