[infinispan-dev] Infinispan security?

[Joni Hahkala]

Hi,

I was reading and watching presentations of Infinispan and it seems that 
currently it is intended for use in secure environment, like data center 
behind a firewall with other datacenters connected through secure links, 
if I understood correctly. But deploying it in more open environment, 
e.g. public cloud, could pose security risks. Manik said in a 
presentation that the underlying Jgroups uses certificates (or can be 
configured to use), and I would assume SSL. So, there is at least some 
security in the Infinispan joins, leaves etc. Manik also told that there 
has been some talk/plans already about the security in general.

I would be interested in hearing about these plans for security and to 
see if there is possibilities for cooperation. I'm currently searching 
for a PhD subject, I have background in grid security, and this work 
sounds like it could be useful and interesting.

Cheers,
Joni
