TITLE:
Secure, Cross-Domain Authentication with SFS
ABSTRACT:
As the world becomes more connected, online collaborations are becoming increasingly common. Often, these collaborations cross administrative boundaries: corporations with remote offices, researchers with their colleagues at other universities, or even a student in a residence hall with his parents at home using a cable modem. Securely using and sharing resources in these environments presents unique challenges that previous systems do not address.
This talk will outline these challenges and present a new computing environment--SFS--that attempts to address them. SFS consists of three basic components: a global file system, a remote execution tool, and an authentication service. We have built SFS and our initial experience confirms that it can operate effectively across administrative domains.
