Hi, Marlon I would like to announce my practice talk Tuesday. Title: Authentication and Authorization in Distributed Systems Where: Conference Room 100B, Showers When: Jun 30 (Tuesday), 2009, at 3:00pm Zhenhua Guo Abstract Security in distributed systems poses new challenges which are different from that of local security. Distributed systems consist of heterogeneous components in terms of hardware, operating systems, security policies and so on. How to construct security frameworks that have good scalability, user experience and interoperability is difficult. In my talk, I will survey some major efforts on authentication and authorization. For each of these two topics, several well-known projects will be discussed and compared. State-of-the-art authentication and authorization mechanisms will be presented and analyzed. Also identity federation will be discussed which aims to support data sharing data among identity management systems.
