Authorization for Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Project

With collaborators from NMI Grids Center group at NCSA, Globus Toolkit developers at Argonne, and developers from the National Virtual Observatory (NVO) project and NOAO, we are developing the authorization framework that will not only be the basis of LSST authentication and authorization mechanisms but will provide a community-wide security framework that will allow the LSST archive to interoperate with other astronomical archives
