Security for Grid Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 how these issues are addressed in two generations of the Globus Toolkit®. First, we review the Globus Toolkit version 2 (GT2) approach; then, we describe new approaches developed to support the Globus Toolkit version 3 (GT3) implementation of the Open Grid Services Architecture, an initiative that is recasting Grid concepts within a serviceoriented framework based on Web services. GT3’s security implementation uses Web services security mechanisms for credential exchange and other purposes, and introduces a tight leastprivilege model that avoids the need for any privileged network service.

A fundamental problem that confronts Shanghai Information Grid is to adopt a good Grid toolkit, since the “de facto” standard Globus Toolkit does not support Information Grid well enough. We have developed an OGSAcompatible Grid Middleware, Shanghai Information Grid Toolkit (IGT), which is optimized for Information Grid. Some important new features are provided in IGT: a small and fast core sup...

Web services security has some crucial problems to be solved in building Grid applications. In particular the current implementations of message-level Web services security are very slow and therefore extremely vulnerable to even the simplest types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The more advanced is the security mechanisms, the worse the performance and scalability of the whole system. On ...
