[ogsa-wg] Links for material on path validation and on the IGTF, etc.

[Alan Sill]

Per action items from meeting of 21 Sep. 2006:

A link for information on the International Grid Trust Federation  
(IGTF) and its activities with respect to the large-scale grids in  
science and academics is below:

http://www.gridpma.org/

Information in general on path validation is available at

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3379

I will look for and try to supplement the above with information  
specific to path validation and related issues for the use of Bridge  
CAs and similar structures in grids as soon as possible.

Note that The Americas Grid PMA (TAG PMA) has formed a working group  
on the above issue including members from the other PMAs, and that is  
currently in process.

There is also extensive activity, especially in the Internet2,  
Educause and related sectors with respect to the use of Shibboleth  
with grids, including related PKI and X.509-embedding issues, see
