Big Data Ecosystem for Data-Driven Decision MakingAbzetdin Adamov
The extremely fast grow of Internet Services, Web and Mobile Applications and advance of the related Pervasive, Ubiquity and Cloud Computing concepts have stumulated production of tremendous amounts of data partially available online (call metadata, texts, emails, social media updates, photos, videos, location, etc.). Even with the power of today’s modern computers it still big challenge for business and government organizations to manage, search, analyze, and visualize this vast amount of data as information. Data-Intensive computing which is intended to address this problems become quite intense during the last few years yielding strong results. Data intensive computing framework is a complex system which includes hardware, software, communications, and Distributed File System (DFS) architecture.
Just small part of this huge amount is structured (Databases, XML, logs) or semistructured (web pages, email), over 90% of this information is unstructured, what means data does not have predefined structure and model. Generally, unstructured data is useless unless applying data mining and analysis techniques. At the same time, just in case if you can process and understand your data, this data worth anything, otherwise it becomes useless.

Federating Infrastructure as a Service cloud computing systems to create a un...David Wallom
This paper details the state of the art, the design, development and deployment of the EGI Federated Cloud platform, an e-infrastructure offering scalable and flexible models of utilization to the European research community. While continuing support for the traditional High Throughput Computing model, the EGI Cloud Platform extends its reach to other models of utilization such as long-lived services and on demand computation. Following a two-year period of development, the EGI Federated Cloud platform was officially launched in May 2014 offering resources provided by trusted academic and research organisations from within the user communities and consistently with their standard funding regime. Since then, the use cases supported have significantly increased both in total number and diversity of model of service required, validating both the choice of enforcing cloud technology agnosticism and of supporting service mobility and portability by means of open standards. These design choices have also allowed for the inclusion of commercial cloud providers into an infrastructure previously supported only by academic institutions. This contributes to a wider goal of funding agencies to create economic and social impact from supported research activities.
IoT Challenges: Technological, Business and Social aspectsRoberto Minerva
Internet of Things is promising to be a set of technologies able to have a high impact on how people live, produce, modify and interact with the environment. Such a transformation is driven by increasing technologies capabilities of sensors/actuators, communications, general-purpose hardware, availability of software and programmability of devices. The integration of so different technologies is a problem in itself and IoT is also trying to solve cogent issues of specific problem domains, such as e-health, transportation, manufacturing, and so on. Large IoT systems (e.g., smart cities) stand on their own because the smartness requires integration of different technologies, processes and different administrative domains creating the needs to deal with a complex system. In addition to technological and problem domain specific challenges, there exist further challenges that fall in business, social and regulation realms. They can greatly impact the deployment and the success of IoT deployment. The speech aims at providing a view on some major technologies challenges of IoT and to cover a few critical business and social issues that could hamper the large deployment of IoT systems by providing some examples of implementation.

The document discusses the W3C Web Authentication standard (also known as FIDO 2.0) for passwordless strong authentication on the web. It provides an overview of the key components and actors in the standard like FIDO authenticators, user agents, relying parties. It then summarizes the basic flows of registration and authentication in 2 phases. During registration, a key pair is generated on the authenticator and the public key is registered with the FIDO server. During authentication, the authenticator performs local authentication using the registered key and sends an assertion to the server for remote authentication.
This document discusses the OPTiM Store, which uses SCIM and OpenID Connect (OIDC) for provisioning and federation between systems like Active Directory and SaaS applications. It outlines the processes for tenant contracting, client registration, and credential exchange to enable synchronization of user identities and attributes from a SaaS application to the OPTiM Store using SCIM, and authentication from the store to SaaS using OIDC single sign-on.
The document discusses standards for identity federation and assertions. It defines four levels of federation assurance (FAL) based on the type of assertion used and how it is presented. FAL1 uses front-channel or back-channel bearer assertions signed by the identity provider. FAL2 adds encryption of assertions to the relying party. FAL3 encrypts assertions to the relying party for both front and back-channel. FAL4 uses holder-of-key assertions, where the assertion contains a public key and proof of possession, signed and encrypted to the relying party. The document provides definitions and discusses security considerations for federation and assertions.
SP 800-63-3 is an update to NIST's digital identity guidelines. It introduces a new framework that separates assurance levels into three components: Identity Assurance Level (IAL), Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL), and Federation Assurance Level (FAL). This provides more flexibility and granularity over the previous version's single Level of Assurance (LOA). The document outlines the recommended requirements and mappings between the new IAL, AAL, FAL framework and the legacy LOA model from SP 800-63-2.
The document discusses OAuth and OpenID Connect protocols. It provides diagrams illustrating the flows of OAuth authorization code grant, implicit grant and hybrid grant flows. It also compares OAuth and OpenID Connect, noting that OpenID Connect builds upon OAuth by adding an identity layer. Key aspects of OpenID Connect like ID tokens and their claims are outlined. Examples of OAuth and OpenID Connect implementations are provided at the end.
This document contains information about Nov Matake, including that he is a security engineer at GREE Inc. and evangelist for the OpenID Foundation. It discusses concepts related to digital identity including entity, identity, authentication, authorization, access control, and identity proofing. It also compares identity providers and relying parties in the context of single sign-on using services like Facebook and Disqus.
The document discusses the FIDO Alliance and its specifications for passwordless and two-factor authentication. It describes the FIDO Alliance's role in defining specifications, issuing vendor codes, and operating a certification program called FIDO Ready. The specifications cover areas like registration, authentication, and key generation in interactions between users' devices, authenticators, clients, and relying parties.
The document is a presentation on OpenID Connect 101 by Nov Matake of OpenID Foundation Japan. It provides an overview of OpenID Connect, including how it uses OAuth 2.0 with an added identity layer, the code flow process, ID tokens and their contents, scopes, discovery, and dynamic client registration.
