*Discussion*

The group discussed the initial draft of the Futures document. The document will contain an agreed upon definition of policy applied to network access. A key determinant for policy is that is should be documented and then applied to network access. The document will also discuss enforcement of existing policy issues. The document will also define general, administrative, federated authentication, security, QoS and managing network policy requirements. These requirements will be used as a basis for determining architecture solutions. It was also discussed that the research community’s requirements might be different than the higher-ed community’s requirements. The documents will also include information on integrating legacy systems into a NetAuth architecture. Specific approaches will be addressed as examples. The group will further discuss the amount of detail required for implementation. The group will also determine a set of features required for each NetAuth component along with a list of available products/components and the products performance relative to the required features.

Federated Wireless NetAuth (FWNA) update - The Federated Wireless NetAuth (FWNA) subgroup will hold a BoF at the Joint Techs meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The subgroup will solicit interest in their efforts from the EDUCAUSE Wireless LAN Security list. The subgroup has created a separate mailing list. Currently the subgroup is implementing a RADIUS server to be used for authentication over 802.1x.

EDUCAUSE has been soliciting responses for their security and regional conferences. These responses might also serve as case studies for the Strategies document. The group will discuss applicability of these case studies to the Strategies document and the WG’s plan to integrate these case studies by the end of February.

The next call is Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 12:00 PM ET. An agenda will the call in number will be sent out to the WG via the list prior to the call.
