SciGaP-CTSC Engagement: Final Technical Recommendations
Randy W. Heiland, Scott Koranda, Von Welch · IUScholarWorks (Indiana University) · 2016
The Science Gateway Platform as a service (SciGaP) project provides middleware services for science communities. SciGaP has several cybersecurity challenges as it integrates web, campus cyberinfrastructure, and cloud technologies. These challenges cover a broad range of topics: levels of trust between multiple entities, identity management, authentication and authorization, software assurance, and more. The engagement has clarified security challenges, generated actionable advice, and produced multiple reports that should be useful for general security issues for the broader NSF science community.
