EUGridPMA - Building Trust for Distributed IT Infrastructures for Research
The EUGridPMA is the international organisation to coordinate the trust
fabric for e-Infrastructure for research in Europe, the Middle-East, and Africa. It collaborates with
the regional peers APGridPMA for
the Asia-Pacific and The Americas
Grid PMA in the Interoperable Global
Trust Federation.
The charter document defines the group's
objective, scope and operation. It is the basis for the guidelines
documents on the
accreditation
procedure, such as the
Authentication profile
for secured "classic" authorities and other IGTF
recognised profiles supporting federated identity, as well as the dvelopment
of guidelines and best practices fostering trust for authorization, attribute management and credential management.

The European Policy Management Authority for Grid Authentication in e-Science
is a body to establish requirements and best practices for grid identity
providers to enable a common trust domain applicable to authentication of
end-entities in inter-organisational access to distributed resources. As its
main activity the EUGridPMA coordinates a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for
use with Grid authentication middleware. The EUGridPMA itself does not provide
identity assertions, but instead asserts that
- within the scope of the charter - the certificates issued by the Accredited
Authorities meet or exceed the relevant guidelines.
