Slide Notes and Questions:

What set of information does the Broker authorization message (AM) contain?

2. What exactly is implied by “secure channel”?

3. What set of information does the User Org authorization certificate (CERT) contain? Is it signed with the Broker’s

public key or with a shared secret between the User Org authorization server and the Broker?

Are there any security issues?

5. The reason why a secure channel is needed between the Application and the Broker is because the AM message

is not protected. The secure channel could be removed if AM is sent as a certificate signed with some shared

secret between the Application and the Broker.

6. UOST => {Tcs}Ks

Tcs => User Org AAA server, User, IP addr of User, ts, lifetime, Kcs

Ks => User Org AAA server’s shared key with the KDC

Auth => {Ac}Kcs

Ac => name of User, IP addr of User, ts (New Ac must be generated per service request)

Kcs => Session key for User and User Org AAA server
