Folks, We have established a group for discussion on secure authentication and authorization of SDN components when SDN solution is in use. --------------------------------------------------------------- The name of this group is: SDNAuth This group focuses on the following scope: - Authentication and authorization of application to the network control - SDNAuth only provides the place where a network control can find policy but applying policy is out of the scope of SDN auth - Authentication and authorization of two controllers (exchanging policy is out of the scope) - Optimization of authentication and authorization of network elements + user at the same time - Authentication and authorization of an app to a security function service such as a firewall (applying any rules on the firewall is out of scope but authentication and showing the place of policies are in scope) : SDN/NFV authentication You can find more information about this group on the info page. If you are interested on the scope of this group, please feel free to join clicking on the following address: < https://mail.rozanak.com/mailman/listinfo/sdnauth > --------------------------------------------------------------- We had some discussions on "secauth" at IETF and would like to continue the discussion with interested folks in an external group. The goal is to prepare the final draft of charter for possible BoF. This group also plans to have an implementation by using Openstack as a based. Later, I will update the info page of the group with the link to a project repository. Thanks, Best, Hosnieh P.S. Please note that the group is public including its archive.
