Firewall Virtualization for Grid Applications - WG (90 mins)
Ralph Niederberger, Thijs Metsch, Inder Monga
(FVGA-WG)  Group Discussion
View Participants

The Firewall Issues research group (fi-rg) has documented the use cases and classified the issues that Grid applications experience when trying to traverse and/or control data transport policy enforcement devices (GFD.83) and has published a document that analyzes and categorizes new firewall protocols, architectures and on-demand frameworks currently available (GFD.142).

The Firewall Virtualization for Grid Applications - Working Group will leverage the application requirements from the FI-RG to standardize a set of service definitions for a virtualized control interface into firewalls and other midboxes allowing the grid applications to securely and dynamically request application/workflow-specific services from those devices, for the duration of the service.

This session will provide a short introduction into the work proposed in FVGA, a status update on current work, group discussions on protocol proposals and on further work to reach the goals defined.

Agenda (preliminary):
1.) Introduction and status of FVGA-WG - Ralph Niederberger
2.) Group discussions
