Improving Security in Grids Using the Smart Card Technology
Original language description
User authentication into a current Grid environment is usually done using a PKI based credentials. While the private key is the most sensitive information in a user possession, it is usually stored on a local filesystem. Even if the certificate is encrypted, the plain form must be available to perform any operation where a private key is involved. The key hygiene is becoming a crucial issue when deploying the PKI infrastructure on a wide scale especially in academic environments where not all users areyet familiar with higher security standards. We present a solution based on smart card technology when users are still in a full control of their sensitive data but they could not expose them to potential attacker. We deployed USB tokens to the users ofthe Czech national Grid (the METACentrum environment), that is otherwise using Kerberos as its primary security infrastructure. We also developed and deployed a set of tools and travel kits to support easy use of the tokens, including gen

Použití čipových karet pro zvýšení bezpečnosti v Gridech
Czech description
Uživatelé v gridovém prostředí zpravidla používají PKI pro autentizaci. Nasazení PKI v rozsáhlém distribuovaném prostředí ukazuje některá slabá místa, zejména problémy s patřičnou bezpečností soukromých klíčů. V příspěvku popisujeme naše řešení pro nasazení čipových karet v gridovém prostředí.
