Introduction
IT security has become an important issue for GIS with emerging spatial data infrastructures. Access authorisation does not only affect roles and applications but loosley coupled services and even down to individual objects.

Service oriented architectures should be standardised by a consequent applience of OGC standards. OpenGIS specifications are interoperable and primarily open. Therefore it is important to implement a thorough security concept on the infastructure level that can be enhanced with a spatially enabled user and role and permission model.

Content
This course addresse security concepts for geospatial architectures. The introduction focuese on terminology and sets the scene. After that several standard methods are discussed and mapped with particularities of geodata infrastructures. All topics are accompanied by course material that is developed and made available for download at the OSGeo Foundation.

Solution Concept
Several solutions are presented with multivendor capable concepts using security proxy architectures, GeoXACML and SOAP. The practical online session can be demonstrated by the presenter or done individually hands on if the hardware and internet access are provided.

Requirements: Basic Internet GIS know-how

Audience: Technicians and operators in the GIS area
