Grid security
F. Siebenlist · 2003
Currently, members of the Grid community are working within the Global Grid Forum to articulate their security requirements, and to fill the gaps that are perceived to exist within industry-wide standardization efforts. Probably the main difference between the Grid community's requirements and those seen in the rest of the industry is the focus on how we can express, communicate and enforce the different security policies while crossing adminstrative boundaries.This presentation will discuss some Grid specific use cases to emphasize this difference in focus, briefly discuss the Open Grid Services Architecture that provides the framework in which we try to address these requirements, enumerate how security aspects can be addressed by existing standards and where the gaps are, and specifically show some details on our current work to address-many of our distributed authorization problems.
