DescriptionHPC centers are tempting targets for attacks on storage capacity and computational power, and for the theft of sensitive data. The design of HPC solutions must incorporate security concerns in terms of overall architecture but also in terms of hardware and software components.
Network confinement is a classical step to achieve security. However, network is one part of the solution, and attacks such as denial-of-service or 0-day vulnerability must be managed in other layers. In addition, resource sharing brings additional complexity that must also be taken into account.
Regarding the in-depth security design of HPC infrastructures as critical must become a standard if we want to take HPC systems to a higher security level. Appropriate software architecture makes it possible to maximize system availability and reduce security breach impacts. We will present architecture and software solutions to manage common security requirements such as authentication, confinement, encryption, etc.
