A4Mesh: Authentication and Authorization
TF-MNM, Feb-15-11, Lyon
Only authorized users, authorized nodes should be able to join the network
User data forwarding, managementdata dissemination requires a trust between Mesh nodes. Authentication mechanism between nodes are needed.
Authentication issues :- Clients, end systems have to be authenticated before being able to use the network Moonshot ? - Management interface Shibboleth protected for mesh admin SWITCHaai- Mesh Nodes - ?
