Major Future Work

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.
