Summary (2-4 sentences)<br>Just a few informal sentences describing what you want to present.<br>No need to spend a lot of time on this! You can change it later.

The SciTokens project (https://scitokens.org), in collaboration with the HTCondor team, is helping to bring capability-based authorization for least-privilege access to scientific computing infrastructures using the JSON Web Token (JWT) and OAuth standards, which are already used by services like Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. This talk will give an introduction to the SciTokens model, including an introduction to JWTs and OAuth, and will discuss motivating use cases including PyCBC workflows using HTCondor in LIGO.

Availability of the Speaker<br>Let us know if there are times you CANNOT present,<br>prehaps because you need to leave for the airport early, etc.

Tuesday preferred.
