Secure token passing at application level
Augusto Ciuffoletti · 2007
Algorithms based on the circulation of a unique token are often indicated in the design of distributed solutions for Grids. We introduce the design of the token passing operation at application level, that exhibits the requirements of security, since the token is a sensitive resource, and scalability, since the token passing protocol must not implement security at expense of scalability. These characteristicsmake our solution suitable for Grid environments.
