The Security Coordination Group (SCG) is responsible for ensuring overall EGEE security coordination. This includes architecture, deployment, standardisation and cross-project concertation. The goal is to ensure the relationship between the various security-related work items inside the project do not adversely overlap (leading to duplication of effort) or leave gaps that could be exploited.

Documents

All SCG documents, including the security status reports, are available from the EGEE SCG EDMS area.

Deliverables

The SCG has a number of specific deliverables in EGEE-II, listed below.

MJRA2.2.1 - Agreed Security Audit Plan

This document describes the metrics and procedures for operational and middleware security auditing.

MJRA2.2.2-5: 1st-4th EU Security workshop

EU Security concertation effort lead by the EGEE middleware (MWSG) and policy (JSPG) security groups. These meetings are held adjacent to EGEE Conferences and ordinary MWSG and JSPG events on a quarterly basis. Results are reported on the meetings' websites and in the JRA2 quarterly reports and in the Annual Report on the Collective EGEE-II Security Status.

DJRA2.2.1: Annual Report on the Collective EGEE Security Status

This report documents and assesses the security status of the project after year one. It includes summaries of the operational and middleware security work (referring to the appropriate deliverables within the other activities), and describes how and to what extent operational security issues are reflected in either updates to middleware security requirements or in improved designs. It also documents to what extent new security-related middleware components have been used in an operational setting and how these components are evaluated (according to the agreed security audit plan).

DJRA2.2.2 - Final Report on the Collective EGEE-II Security Status

This final report updates DJRA2.2.1 to include the entire project lifetime. In addition, it describes to what extent the operational security experience obtained, as well as any new security-related middleware, have been disseminated and have been taken up by other European and related Grid and security projects.
