Alan et. al.,
Having somewhat caught up with this desire within OGSA to create "very
simple one-to-one, OGSA Basic Security Authentication Profile proposal", I
think that the current "Security considerations" of the latest draft of the
"HPC Basic Profile"
(http://forge.ggf.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.ogsa-hpcp-wg/do
cman.root.drafts.hpc_basic_profile/doc13736/5) might be what you're looking
for.
That is, we wrote up essentially a "very simple one-to-one, OGSA Basic
Security Authentication Profile proposal" based on our collective
experiences of the HPC Basic Profile interop demo for SC2006.
The question, of course, is: to what extent does your definition of "simple"
match our definition of "simple"?
We're discussing this "security considerations" tomorrow (11 Eastern) in the
OGSA HPC Profile call -- please participate if you're interested...

I came in early today (normally drive to drop my kids off at school
between 7:30 to 8:00 each day) to participate in the requirements
discussion for an authentication profile for the HPC use case. I
will try to connect to the previously announced number at 8:00 am to
see if that conversation can proceed.)
In the meantime, any pointers beyond the gridforge pages to work done
on the HPC use case in this regard would be useful. If we do connect
this morning or in a future meeting, I would be willing to describe
the AuthN/AuthZ infrastructure choices possible with which I am
familiar for the cluster and HPC conditions.
