Nephio security working group

@Byung-Woo Jun informed SECCOM that the Nephio security WG is holding a joint meeting with the LF security SIG today at 11AM ET. Nephio plans to adopt 80% of OSSF passing badge.

Support for CPS to get gold badge

OJSI distribution list participants were updated with Amy's and Jess's support.

2FA ongoing by Jess and Eric for CPS and OJSI distribution list. 

Per Jessica Wagantall:

LFIT will bring the request for 2FA for all users across all ONAP Jiras to the TSC (26th Oct) for approval. 

LFIT will implement 2FA for users across all ONAP Jiras.

Modeling component move to unmaintained

Modeling team did not follow the unmaintained project process. Build failing for components reliant on the "etsi" components.

@Kenny Paul following up to fix the build break.

AAF Certificate Expiration

AAF-1217: AAF cert service failed to start (expired certificate)In Progress

Review work around proposed by @Andreas Geißler - deferred until @Andreas Geißler returns from holiday

Workaround

Some project containers still experiencing problems: clients using the cert-initializer (e.g. SO, SDC, CDS) still fail.

Need to document certificate management in user docs.

Louis Gamers' AAF cert wiki page: (1) Create AAF CA certificates - Developer Wiki - Confluence (onap.org)

• Components such as dcaegen2 have their own cert init container with the aaf certificate embedded in the container image. This might be the reason why SO, SDC, and CDS broke if they have their own cert init containers.

• Unclear why onap-aaf-sms-preload and onap-dmaap-bc-dmaap-provisioning jobs broke in Louis's environment.

Discussion with China Telecom done - they could check potentially next week and they worked independently on this issue, Aaarna Networks commited to check Andreas's patch.

@Paweł Pawlak to send an e-mail notification to China Telecom about the script prepared by Andreas and associated Wiki documenting it.

Container Signing

Review next steps:

-select signing software (SECCOM + LFIT)

-perform POC with friendly projects (ONAP)

-integrate into build process (LFIT)

Looking for a volunteering project to work with us. Request raised at the 18th September PTL's call but no volunteer so far.

@Muddasar Ahmed to analyze which ONAP project has the most frequent changes in its containers.

Muddasar reached out to LF-IT, Jess and her team are analyzing what enhancement has to be made with CI jobs to allow for Container signing.  Further updates will be provided when scope and efforts have been assessed.
