This document discusses how advances in high performance computing and cyberinfrastructure are benefiting life sciences research. It describes how computational techniques like molecular dynamics simulations require massive parallel processing power. Technologies like multi-core CPUs and GPU computing are making these simulations more affordable and accessible. The document also outlines collaborations between research institutions that use grid computing resources and share data through the Open Science Grid. This allows researchers to perform computationally intensive analyses and modeling across distributed systems.

- 26. How to get a structural biologist using CI Ease of use No command line X.509 (initial request, VOs, proxies, Roles, etc.) are really complicated Support infrastructure (mailing lists, tickets, phone, training) Killer apps They will use it if they see peers using it to advance scientific goals They will use it if some novel workflows or workflow patterns are established Data management is a big problem for everyone (see bonus, time permitting) -- we believe grid infrastructure could provide a solution Security Data needs to be secure ... ... but users still want to control sharing/access Roadblocks Reliability of underlying infrastructure and difficulty in debugging Applications tied to GUIs, rudimentary interfaces Ian Stokes-Rees, SBGrid, Harvard Medical School October 13th, 2009
- 27. Security Challenges Identity Management Mixture of .htpasswd, PAM, X.509, and application-specific IDs Complexity of X.509 (and associated paraphernalia) confuses users account creation, use, and management Virtual Organization hierarchies and user-driven collaborations Inheritance of rights/policies How to allow users to easily create and manage groups Merging security policies Site/resource, VO, and user policies need to be merged Encryption and Privacy Preservation Generic mechanisms for encryption and key management Preserving privacy of actions and data in federated grid environment Ian Stokes-Rees, NEBioGrid, Harvard Medical School June 23rd, 2010
- 28. Security Work Meta data system Provide more generic pointers to ACLs and encryption keys Extension of GACL system Include non-X.509 ID tokens as policy principals Allow GACL policies to apply to web framework objects (pyGACL) Simple replicated key system for file encryption Use of meta-data framework to point to encryption key (and replicas) Use GACL to control key access (regular file) Libraries to automatically read/write encrypted files Future VO hierarchies Tools for user driven ACL management Tools for policy management (merging site, VO and user policies) Ian Stokes-Rees, NEBioGrid, Harvard Medical School June 23rd, 2010
