Single Sign-On (SSO) is a practical requirement for software applications, which rely on distributed, networked services requiring authentication. SSO is as much a convenient feature for users as it is a security concern for application designers. The security requirement becomes critical in institutions that adhere to HIPPA regulations. In this chapter, we discuss SSO as it applies to a grid portal using remote computational resources and grid storage, which contain Personal Health Information (PHI). We cover the implementation of Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) to meet HIPPA security requirements such as authentication, confidentiality, nonrepudiation, and dataintegrity. Furthermore, we discuss the different technologies in PKI that solves these security concerns with respect to protecting research data and make SSO possible in the grid environment at the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN).
单点登录（SSO）是软件应用程序的一项实际需求，这些应用程序依赖于需要进行身份验证的分布式网络服务。SSO对用户来说是一项便利的功能，对应用程序设计人员来说则是一个安全问题。在遵守HIPPA法规的机构中，安全要求变得至关重要。在本章中，我们将讨论适用于使用远程计算资源和网格存储的网格门户的SSO，这些资源和存储包含个人健康信息（PHI）。我们将介绍公钥基础设施（PKI）的实施，以满足HIPPA安全要求，如身份验证、保密性、不可否认性和数据完整性。此外，我们将讨论PKI中的不同技术，这些技术在保护研究数据方面解决了这些安全问题，并使生物医学信息学研究网络（BIRN）的网格环境中的SSO成为可能。
