Paradigm of Multiparty Joint Authentication: Evolving Towards Trust Aware Grid Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the semantic of Multiparty Joint Authentication (MJA) into the authentication service, which is to find simplified or optimal authentication solutions for all involved principals through their transitive trust instead of to authenticate each pair of principals in turn. MJA is designed to support multiparty security contexts in grids with a specified, understood level of confidence and reduce the time cost of mutual authentications. Graph theory model is employed to define MJA, and analyze its mathematical properties. Two algorithms to find an n-principal, n-order MJA solution are also presented. MJA is indeed a trust aware mechanism and will promote trust aware grid computing eventually.

Multiparty 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...
متن کاملDeveloping Pervasive Trust Paradigm for Authentication and Authorization
Trust plays a growing role in research on security in open computing systems, including Grid computing. We propose using trust for authorization in such systems. Traditionally, authentication and authorization in computer systems guard only user interfaces, thus providing only a perimeter defense against attacks. We search for an authentication and authorization approach that satisfies the requ...
متن کاملEvolving and Managing Trust in Grid Computing Systems∗
A Grid computing system is a geographically distributed environment with autonomous domains that share resources amongst themselves. One primary goal of such a Grid environment is to encourage domain-to-domain interactions and increase the confidence of domains to use or share resources (a) without losing control over their own resources, and (b) ensuring confidentiality for others. To achieve ...
متن کاملSecurity for Resource Selection in Grid Computing Based On Trust and Reputation Responsiveness
In providing the infrastructure for the accomplishment of general purpose computational grids the main concern is security. Still, by properly authenticating users and hosts and in the interactions between them, most grid implementations focus their safety concerns. The effective and competent exploitation of grid computing services needs sophisticated and secured resource management systems. T...
متن کاملSecurity and Trust Issues in Semantic Grids
Grid computing allows sharing of services and resources accross institutions. However, current Grid security mechanisms for authentication and authorization are too rigid and they lack the ability to determine how “trustworthy” the result obtained from a specific provider is likely to be. This paper describes the different facets associated to Trust and identifies the need for Trust Management ...
