• Salsa
  Salsa is an oversight group consisting of technical representatives from the higher education community who advise on leading edge technology issues, provide prioritization, and set directions in the security space. Salsa is affiliated with the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (formerly the Security Task Force), but is independent of both organizations.
  
• Salsa-DR (Disaster Planning & Recovery) Working Group
  The Salsa-DR working group has been formed to explore and document recommended practices for disaster planning and recovery, especially for Higher Ed if and as those needs are distinct from those of other large enterprises.
  
• Computer Security Incidents - Internet2 (CSI2)
  The CSI2 Working Group will organize activities to identify how security incidents can be better identified and the information about the incidents to be shared to improve the overall security of the network and the parties connected to the network. To this end, the working group will publish a report identifying tools, tool output and existing information sharing frameworks as a background for future systems.
  
• DNSSEC Special Interest Group (SIG)
  
• Security in Middleware: Many of the activities in the Internet2 Middleware Initiative relate deeply to issues of security -- Authentication and Authorization in particular.
  
  

• Reconnections: Managing Academic Networks With New Requirements
  A number of studies have identified the inability of classic networking approaches to respond adequately to a rapidly changing security environment. We held a small workshop addressing this topic 25-26 October 2005 in Chicago. Note that this was not a workshop on technologies, rather it was more focused on architectures. It began with disruptive thoughts, considering a redesign of internetworking that is not constrained by current approaches. From that future vision, the discussion moved towards evolutionary steps that can shift our approach.
• Salsa - Network Operational Security Exercises
  In order to ensure continuous evaluation and improvement in Internet2's operational practices, a recurring set of exercises have been initiated.
• DNSSEC: Internet2 has formed a dot-edu advisory group on adopting DNSSEC, with participants from Educause, MIT, University of Oregon, REN-ISAC, University of Massachusetts, University of Pennsylvania, University of California-Berkeley, NYSERNet, MERIT, and others. Members of the group have begun a cross-signing project, in which they will sign at least one of their zones and exchange trust anchors in order to be able to mutually validate their DNS records. Several have already signed zones in a limited, test environment and others are preparing to do so.
• NetGuru
  NetGuru is a periodic meeting of senior network and security engineers, a forum to engage in a freewheeling discussion of timely topics.
