The D7.7 deliverable is a summary of the final state of security
components in EDG. It follows on from D7.5 (requirements) and D7.6
(security design). The content of those documents is only repeated in
summary form so the three documents should be viewed as a set.

The document consists of two main sections. One goes through the
various components from the design document, giving a summary of the
current state of development, inclusion in the 2.1 release, and the
extent to which the component is actually in use in the application
testbed.

The second part goes through the requirement areas from D7.5 and
describes the extent to which the requirements are met in the current
system. There is also a table giving the status of every requirement
in an appendix.

The document also has a brief summary of the security integration
status for each work package, some general conclusions, and finishes
with some recommendations for future projects.

Overall, the document gives a good overview of the current status of
the security components in EDG. In general the reviewers comments were
of a technical nature, and most of them have been implemented in the
version sent for review by the PTB.

The most substantial comments related to the fact that Requirements
related to Confidentiality and Integrity, needed in particular for
confidential medical files, have not been met. Some text has been
added to explain why it was not possible to achieve this within EDG.

There was also some question about the inclusion of some components
which are not part of the EDG software release. Some text has been
added to explain that these are included as they were part of the
design described in D7.6.

Due to time pressures the reviewers have not had time for a final
round of comments before the PTB review, so it is likely that there
will be some changes still needed to produce a final document, apart
from any changes requested by the PTB. However, these are likely to be
minor, and it should be possible to produce a finished document by
December 19th.
