It is clear that the
full implementation of the concepts set forth in the IntelliGrid Architecture is not possible given the
technological state today. The following is a list of major work items
that should be targeted to be started in the near future.
· There is no standardized and extensible audit record format that can be
used easily to create audit trails for information supplied by multiple audit
framework components/security domains. It is recommended that some type of XML format be standardized and that
this activity be considered for future work.
· There is no usable mechanism to manage certificate/credential revocation
within a security domain. It is recommended that future standardization work be targeted at the
creation of a Revocation Server/protocol combination that meets the criteria
set forth within the IntelliGrid Architecture.
· There is no mechanism available for communicating entities to specify a
particular communication path or dynamic path
selection based on Security being used in a similar manner to Quality of
Service. It is therefore recommended that the standardization of such ability be targeted as
future work.
· The industry is inundated with different security related activities,
coordination of these activities would make sure that redundant and conflicting
work is not performed.
