At present (DateTime(2006-02-22T16:02:02Z)) here is merely a list of the objectives from the projects.

Clearly, the most important are the objectives for the ESP-GRID project, but we also attempt to examine the aims and objectives for the BRIDGES project.

ESP-GRID project aims and objectives

Overall aim

The overall aim of the project was to "achieve a deeper understanding of the potential role that Shibboleth can play in grid authentication, authorization and security".

Objectives

  1. [#obj1 To formulate a picture of current and future requirements of grid security.]
  2. [#obj2 To postulate the relevance of Shibboleth to grids and its possible relationships with PKI.]
  3. [#obj3 If/where Shibboleth is relevant, to examine possible interfaces between existing information environments and grid computing environments using Shibboleth, and PKI where appropriate.]
  4. [#obj4 (If and) Where Shibboleth has been shown to be able to play a beneficial role in grid access management, a prototype grid should be modelled and developed.]
  5. [#obj5 Building on the above, routes for migration and/or integration should be proposed in order to achieve interoperability with regard to access controls between existing PKI-based grids and information environments.]
