Lightweight Grid Computing for Small Group Use Cases

FOBS: A Lightweight Communication Protocol for Grid Computing

The advent of high-performance networks in conjunction with low-cost, powerful computational engines has made possible the development of a new set of technologies termed computational grids. These technologies are making possible the creation of very large-scale distributed computing systems by interconnecting geographically distributed computational resources via very high-performance network...

A Lightweight Application Hosting Environment for Grid Computing

Current grid computing [1, 2] technologies have often been seen as being too heavyweight and unwieldy from a client perspective, requiring complicated installation and configuration steps to be taken that are beyond the ability of most end users. This has led many of the people who would benefit most from grid technology, namely application scientists, to avoid using it. In response to this we ...

Secure Group Communication in Grid Computing

We discuss the security requirements and analyze the requirements for secure group communication in grid circumstance. When several processes generated by a user want to communicate securely, they have to share a secret key to communicate. We propose a secret key administration algorithm in dynamically circumstance. The security and efficiency of our scheme is analyzed.

A Lightweight Privacy-preserving Authenticated Key Exchange Scheme for Smart Grid Communications

Smart grid concept is introduced to modify the power grid by utilizing new information and communication technology. Smart grid needs live power consumption monitoring to provide required services and for this issue, bi-directional communication is essential. Security and privacy are the most important requirements that should be provided in the communication. Because of the complex design of s...
