Federated Access to Science Services and Infrastructures

Increasingly, virtual organizations (VOs) of scientists are
collaborating across organizational boundaries, using large-scale
cyberinfrastructure and hosted cloud services. For small- and
medium-size VOs, the adoption burden is high to leverage such resources
and enable secure access. This IAM Online will look at work being done
to enable federated access to these services and infrastructures, and
lower the barriers for such adoption.

Rachana Ananthakrishnan will present Globus Online, a fast, reliable and
secure data movement service, hosted in the cloud, with a
fire-and-forget ease of use for the scientists to manage their data
transfer and sharing needs. Jim Basney will present cilogon.org, a
service that uses federated authentication to provide certificates for
access to cyberinfrastructure.
