SciGaP-CTSC Engagement Summary

Abstract

The Science Gateway Platform as a service (SciGaP) project provides middleware services for science communities. SciGaP has several cybersecurity challenges as it integrates web, campus cyberinfrastructure, and cloud technologies. These challenges cover a broad range of topics: levels of trust between multiple entities, identity and access management, authentication and authorization, software assurance, and more. The engagement has helped clarify security challenges, generate actionable advice, and produce multiple reports that should be useful for general security issues for the broader NSF science community.
