[Pgi-wg] Genesis II Security - Trust Anchor(s)

[Bernd Schuller]

hi Etienne, PGI,

is it an aim of PGI-WG to discuss operational policies such as which CAs
are trusted by which infrastructure? The group's "focus and scope" at
<http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/pgi-wg> does not mention this.

Up to now, I assumed PGI is about defining and/or profiling
specifications for compute, data, etc, and *not* about operational
issues in specific existing or future infrastructures? Is this no longer
the case?

Thanks for any clarification on this question,
Bernd.
