Distributed Cryptographic Computing on Grid
Jiang Zhong-hua, Dongdai Lin, Lin Xu, Lei Lin · 2007
Distributed cryptographic computing system plays an im-portant role in cryptographic research since cryptographic computing is extremely computation sensitive. There are many research results done in this aspect, but no gen-eral cryptographic computing environment is available for cryptographic researchers and engineers. Grid technology can give an efficient computational support for crypto-graphic applications. Therefor, we put forward a gen-eral grid-based computing environment called DisCrypto for distributed cryptographic computing. In this paper, we simply describe the architecture of DisCrypto at first. The policy of task division adapted in DisCrypto is then analyzed. The method to manage subtask is further dis-cussed in detail. Furthermore, the building and execution process of an execution plan is revealed. Finally, the de-tails of DisCrypto implementation under Globus Toolkit 4 are illustrated.
