# SIG YOURSIG Charter
# SIG Auth Charter

This charter adheres to the conventions described in the [Kubernetes Charter README] and uses
the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance].

## Scope

Include a 2-3 sentence summary of what work SIG TODO does. Imagine trying to
explain your work to a colleague who is familiar with Kubernetes but not
necessarily all of the internals.
SIG Auth is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of features in
Kubernetes that control and protect access to the API and other core components. This includes
authentication and authorization, but also encompasses features like auditing and some policy
(see below).

### In scope

Link to SIG section in [sigs.yaml]

#### Code, Binaries and Services

- list of what qualifies a piece of code, binary or service
- as falling into the scope of this SIG
- e.g. *clis for working with Kubernetes APIs*,
- *CI for kubernetes repos*, etc
- **This is NOT** a list of specific code locations,
- or projects those go in [sigs.yaml]
- Kubernetes authentication, authorization, audit and policy features. Examples include:
- Authentication, authorization and audit interfaces and extension points
- Authentication implementations (service accounts, OIDC, authenticating proxy, webhook,
...)
- Authorizer implementations (RBAC + default policy, Node + default policy, webhook, ...)
- Security-related admission plugins (NodeRestriction, ServiceAccount, PodSecurityPolicy,
ImagePolicy, etc)
- The mechanisms to protect confidentiality/integrity of API data. Examples include:
- Capability for encryption at rest
- Capability for secure communication between components
- Ensuring users and components can operate with appropriately scoped permissions

#### Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes

- list of the non-internal processes
- that are owned by this SIG
- e.g. qualifying and cutting a Kubernetes release,
- organizing mentorship programs, etc
- Consult with other SIGs and the community on how to apply mechanisms owned by SIG
Auth. Examples include:
- Review privilege escalation implications of feature and API designs
- Core component authentication & authorization (apiserver, kubelet, controller-manager,
and scheduler)
- Local-storage volume deployment authentication
- Cloud provider authorization policy
- Container runtime streaming (exec/attach/port-forward) authentication
- Best practices for hardening add-ons or other external integrations

### Out of scope

Outline of things that could be confused as falling into this SIG but don't or don't right now.
- Reporting of specific vulnerabilities in Kubernetes. Please report using these instructions:
https://kubernetes.io/security/
- General security discussion. Examples of topics that are out of scope for SIG-auth include:
- Protection of volume data, container ephemeral data, and other non-API data (prefer: sig-storage
and sig-node)
- Container isolation (prefer: sig-node and sig-networking)
- Bug bounty (prefer: product security team)
- Resource quota (prefer: sig-scheduling)
- Resource availability / DOS protection (prefer: sig-apimachinery, sig-network, sig-node)

## Roles and Organization Management

This sig follows adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance]
and opts-in to updates and modifications to [sig-governance].

### Additional responsibilities of Chairs

- list of any additional responsibilities
- of Chairs

### Additional responsibilities of Tech Leads

- list of any additional responsibilities
- of Tech Leads

### Deviations from [sig-governance]

- list of other ways this SIG's roles and governance differ from
- the outline
- **If the SIG doesn't have either Chairs or Tech Leads specify that here.**

### Subproject Creation

Pick one:
SIG Auth delegates subproject approval to Technical Leads. See [Subproject creation - Option 1].

1. SIG Technical Leads
2. Federation of Subprojects
