*Administrative*
This is the group’s first call. Future calls will occur at this same time
– Noon ET – every other Thursday beginning June 17, 2004. Action
items will be sent to the list ASAP after each call. Draft minutes will be sent
to the group via the list within a week of the call. Desired changes to the
minutes will be discussed on the next call. Minutes will then be considered
approved and posted to the working group’s web site. An agenda with phone
bridge info will be sent to the list prior to each call.
All communications and work of Internet2 WG’s is subject to the Internet2
Intellectual Property Framework http://members.internet2.edu/intellectualproperty.html,
please review this page.
The working group’s charter and deliverables, along with call minutes
and related links can be found on the WG page at http://security.internet2.edu/arch/.
*Discussion*
The group’s early deliverables to date are to review the charter for comments
and to develop a taxonomy of common terms to be used as a basis for future network
security discussions.
The charter as posted on the web site is a draft. Once the group reviews the charter for comments, then the charter will be submitted to SALSA and Internet2 for approval.
Current rev of WG charter and discussion
The SALSA-Arch Working Group will consider issues related to:
1. Identification of functions or components used to prevent unauthorized or
enabled authorized access to data or resources, for the purpose of improving
communication.
It was suggest that this include existing and non-existent components. Identifying desired functionality is within the scope of the charter. The group will develop requirements definitions and use cases. However, the group will not generally design new protocols or new devices, although it may seek to influence these efforts. Developing requirements into deployable solutions is not within the scope of this WG’s charter. The group will determine and identify relevant functionalities and prioritize them into three groups: 1.) Existing protocols/components that are useful solutions for long term security strategies, 2.) Non-existent protocols/devices that if available would be useful solutions for long term security strategies, and 3.) Existing protocols/devices that are not useful solutions in long term security strategies. Some protocols/devices may be useful in the short term, but will not serve the needs of a long-term strategy.
2. Selection of design rules to facilitate operations or enable new services.
3. Adoption of specific techniques of interest to the community that may impact the above.
At some point the group may become interested in a development effort. At that time, the group will discuss the development effort and, perhaps, consider creating a new WG or project to serve as a catalyst/incubator for the effort.
Another of the WG’s first deliverables will be developing a common taxonomy to be used as a basis for future network security discussions. Several documents relative to this effort already exist and will be utilized as starting points for the WG's taxonomy. The group will, within the taxonomy, identify protocols and devices, existent and non-existent that are both useful and not useful.
The group will gather links to related efforts.
The next call is Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 12:00PM ET.
