An Authentication Strength Linked Access Control Middleware for the Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current Grid software lacks support for authentication techniques other than PKIbased digital certificates. Support for multiple authentication technologies is important, particularly in information Grids, where classified resources/data should enjoy fine-grained protection. This paper describes our work in the design and implementation of a Grid authentication middleware. The solution, called Flexible Authentication Middleware Extension for Grids (GridFame), based on the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF), will enable authentication strength linked access control to Grid resources.

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملAuthentication and autorisation prototype on the microgrid for medical data management
This paper presents μgrid, a light weight middleware for grid applications, and focuses mainly on security issues -more specifically on the access control to resources that are critical for the gridification of many medical applications. For this purpose, we use Sygn as a distributed, certificate based, and flexible access control mechanism, which has been fully integrated in μgrid. We discuss ...

متن کاملTowards Ensuring Scalability, Interoperability and Efficient Access Control in a Multi-domain Grid-based Environment
The application of grid computing has been hampered by three basic challenges: scalability, interoperability and efficient access control which need to be optimized before a full-scale adoption of grid computing can take place. To address these challenges, a novel architectural model was designed for a multi-domain grid based environment (built on three domains). It was modelled using the dynam...
متن کاملBond System Security and Access Control Model
Bond is a message-oriented middleware for network computing on a grid of autonomous nodes. In this paper we overview the basic architecture of the Bond system and introduce the security model implemented in the Bond system. User programs as well as data are subject to the security constraints imposed by the local operating system. Bond objects are subject to the access control and the authentic...
