[ggf-ogsa-sec-wg] Introduction

[Guy Rixon <gtr@ast.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I'm involved with the design of security infrastructure for the (astronomical)
virtual observatory both in the AstroGrid projet and in the International
Virtual Observatory Alliance (the standards body for the VObs). IVOA is
constructing a grid-like, OGSA-like architecture of web services that is not
actually based on OGSA.  We'd like our grid to be able to call out to OGSA
services on occassion, so we're hoping to make the security compatible with
OGSA.

Over the next
few months I have a little time available to work in OGSA-SEC-WG. How can I
contribute?  If I produce document fragments that describe bits of the
architecture as IVOA might like it is this helpful?

Cheers,
Guy
