OGSA Security Authentication Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grid computing is concerned with the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed "virtual organizations (VOs).” The dynamic and multi-institutional nature of these environments introduces challenging security issues that demand new technical approaches. This paper reflects the challenges and requirements we have identified thus far in an OGSA environment and we proposes a strategy for addressing security within the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) and the OGSA Authentication Services based on the defined architecture.

Globus Grid and Firewalls: Issues and Solutions in a Utility Data Center Environment
The “Grid” has become the next incarnation of the utility computing vision: seamless access to data and services anytime, anywhere. Sharing a utility infrastructure requires high standards of security. Grid platforms such as the Globus Toolkit, the Grid Engine, Platform or the forthcoming Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) include various security mechanisms from encrypted communication, us...
متن کاملBiosimgrid: a Distributed Database for Biomolecular Simulations
Biomolecular simulations provide data on the conformational dynamics and energetics of complex biomolecular systems. We aim to exploit the e-science infrastructure developing in the UK to enable large scale analysis of the results of such simulations. In particular, the BioSimGrid project (www.biosimgrid.org) will provide a generic database for comparative analysis of simulations of biomolecule...
متن کاملMyGridFTP: A Zero-Deployment GridFTP Client Using the .NET Framework
Large-scale scientific and engineering applications are increasingly being hosted as Grid services using Globus middleware complying to the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) framework. In order for users to fully embrace Grid applications, seamless access to Grid services is required. In working towards this aim we present the design and implementation of Grid clients that utilise the lang...
متن کاملTowards a Unified Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure for Grid Services: Implementing an Enhanced OCSP Service Provider into GT4
The OGSA definition of a Grid Service as a transient, stateful and dynamically instantiated Web Service introduced new authentication and authorization requirements beyond those already established for existing Grid environments. However such design features have begun to be developed currently following a pre-Web Services approach in two aspects: in the first place making a clear separation of...
متن کاملMultiparty Joint Authentication: Extending the Semantics of Single Sign-On for Grids
This paper regards Single Sign-On as an accumulation of a series of two-party authentication, multiparty authentication and authorization. Such a comprehension brings new semantics for Single Sign-On in grids: authentication service and authorization service are separable and could communicate with each other through SAML assertions; Single Sign-On could support both two-party and multiparty au...
