Globus Toolkit®
GridShib for Globus Toolkit builds on Globus Toolkit from the Globus Alliance.
Shibboleth®
GridShib for Shibboleth builds on Shibboleth from Internet2.
SAML
Shibboleth is an implementation of the SAML browser profiles.
MyProxy
MyProxy is an X.509 credential repository and online certificate authority. The latter feature, which is relatively new, is being leveraged by numerous projects in this space.
TeraGrid Science Gateways
A Science Gateway is an intermediary between a user wielding a web browser and a grid resource. The TeraGrid Science Gateway program provides easy access to TeraGrid resources for a broad range of scientific and educational uses.
SimpleGrid
SimpleGrid is a toolkit for building and teaching science and engineering gateways to cyberinfrastructure.
SWITCH
SWITCH Grid activities currently focus on the area of Grid security and operation of grid infrastructure.
Shintau
Shintau will develop protocol specifications that will allow a Shibboleth service provider (SP) to collect together a user's attributes from multiple authorities, whilst preserving the user's privacy, so that the aggregated attributes can be used to authorise the user's request.
MAMS
The Meta Access Management System (MAMS) has recently announced ShARPE:
ESP-GRID
The Evaluation of Shibboleth and PKI for Grids (ESP-GRID) project is investigating "whether and how Shibboleth offers solutions to issues of grid authentication, authorization and security."
Thebes
The Thebes project will re-implement grid security infrastructure from scratch.
Guanxi
Guanxi is a multi-faceted project in the UK.
Of particular interest are the
Guanxi SP
and the
Guanxi Guard,
which together comprise an alternative SAML Service Provider architecture.
SHEBANGS
The Shibboleth Enabled Bridge to Access the National Grid Service (SHEBANGS) project is remarkably similar to GridShib.
ShibGrid
ShibGrid aims to develop a prototype system that will allow National Grid Service (NGS3) users to access NGS3 facilities securely through federated authentication mechanisms employed at their institutions.
LionShare
LionShare is the first nonbrowser application of Shibboleth. The security aspects of LionShare are based in part on two relevant profiles:
Two recent eduSource Communication Layer (ECL) papers are of special interest:
Condor-Shib
The Condor Shibboleth Integration Project at
Georgetown University and the University of Wisconsin queries
