Dear Relying Parties, Authorities, Users, and all others interested,

In this announcement of the IGTF:

1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.117 available 2. WoTBAn&Az 2022 Workshop on Token-Based Authentication and Authorization

============================================================================ 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.117 available ============================================================================

A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the Interoperable Global Trust Federation, based on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes newly accredited Authorities and retires obsolete trustanchors.

This is version 1.117 (release 1), and it is now available for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at

https://dist.igtf.net/distribution/igtf/current/

Changes from 1.116 to 1.117 --------------------------- (29 August 2022)

* Add new intermediate ICA DigiCert Grid-TLS (US) * Add new intermediate ICA DigiCert Grid-Client-RSA2048-SHA256-2022-CA1 (US) * Removed discontinued NCSA-slcs-2013 following end of XSEDE (US) * Removed discontinued PSC-Myproxy-CA following end of XSEDE (US) * RPM packaging: rpm packages are now signed using a SHA-256 digest, file digests using algo 8 (SHA-256), and the yum/dnf listings are signed with SHA-256 as well. This removes support for yum-based distributions <=EL5 (for which ELS ended in November 2020), but allows installation of packages on EL9 (Rocky9, AlmaLinux9, &c) that require SHA-256.

Next Release ------------ Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when the trust anchor distribution has materially been updated. The currently- estimated next release of the distribution will be in October 2022.

========================================================================= REPEATED NOTICES =========================================================================

Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures --------------------------------------------- If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (e.g. a national or regional e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may want to await their announcement before installing the release. They could include localised adaptations. For reference we include the links below: PRACE-RI https://winnetou.surfsara.nl/prace/certs/ EGI https://edu.nl/envyq (i.e. EGI provider docs HOWTO01) wLCG https://lcg-ca.web.cern.ch Open Science Grid https://repo.opensciencegrid.org/cadist/ Not all IGTF releases are necessarily accompanied by infrastructure-specific releases. If changes in the IGTF distribution do not materially impact the distribution of the relying party, no associated release may be done, nor is there a reason to update such a distribution.

Supplementary download locations -------------------------------- The download repository is also mirrored by the EUGridPMA at https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/ and is also available from the Debian distribution for its supported version, e.g. https://packages.debian.org/sid/igtf-policy-classic
