Security in Grid Computing

Abstract:
Grid computing is concerned with the sharing and coordinated use of diverse
resources in distributed "virtual organizations. The dynamic and multi-institutional
nature of these environments introduces challenging security issues that demand new
technical approaches. In particular, one must deal with diverse local mechanisms, support
dynamic creation of services, and enable dynamic creation of trust domains. We describe
the various security issues like application and data protection, stronger authentication
(for users and code), protection of local execution from remote systems and the like. We
describe how all these issues are addressed in the Globus Toolkit version 3 and also the
new approaches that have been developed to support the implementation of the Open
Grid Services Architecture, an initiative that is recasting Grid concepts within a service
oriented framework based on Web services. GT3s security implementation uses Web
services security mechanisms for credential exchange and other purposes, and introduces
a tight least-privilege model that avoids the need for any privileged network service. We
also portray the GSI3 (Grid Security Infrastructure) implementation by describing how it
is used in the GT3s GRAM (Grid Resource Acquisition and Management)
implementation.
