An Authorization Framework for a Grid Based Component Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper1 presents an architecture to meet the needs for authentication and authorization in Grid based component systems. While Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) [1] is widely accepted as the standard for authentication on the Grid, distributed authorization is still an open problem being investigated by various groups [2],[3],[4]. Our design provides authentication and fine-grained authorization at the interface, method and parameter levels. We discuss the various ways in which internal and external authorization services can be used in a component framework. The design is flexible to allow the use of various existing policy languages and authorization systems. Our prototype is based on XCAT, an implementation of the Common Component Architecture (CCA) specification.

متن کاملAttribute Based Access Control for Grid Computing
Grid systems, which are composed of autonomous domains, are open and dynamic. In such systems, there are usually a large number of users, the users are changeable, and different domains have their own policies. The traditional access control models that are identity based are closed and inflexible. The Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) model, which makes decisions relying on attributes of r...

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 کاملA Cross - Domain Role Mapping and Authorization Framework for RBAC in Grid Systems
Highly computational resource sharing environments like grids pose major security issues. Secure interoperability has been a growing concern for such multi domain computing systems. Collaboration in such a diverse environment requires integration of all local policies to compose a global access control policy for controlling information and resource. Access control in such an environment is sti...
متن کاملAn Improved ID Based Entitled Verifier Cryptography for Grid Systems
Identity based cryptography offers an extremely bright alternative to public key based cryptography in the grid computing scenario. A majority of the current security architecture for grid systems use public key infrastructure based security to authenticate grid members and to secure resource allocation to them. In this paper we present identity based cryptography for the grid architecture whic...
