Authentication in Grid Security Infrastructure-Survey
R. Kalai Selvi, V. Kavitha · Procedia Engineering · 2012
Grid Computing is an emerging computing mode which enables the coordinated sharing of widely distributed resources. It provides the ability to perform high throughput computing. Grid computing involves sharing heterogeneous resources based on different platforms, hardware/software architectures and computer Languages located in different places belonging to different administrative domains over a network. The grid security focuses on implementation of safe access for different domains in dynamic grid environment. Today's research focus is towards the protection of privacy and anonymity of grid stakeholders in the service oriented computational grid framework.In grid environment, the four classical security aspects –confidentiality, privacy, authentication and integrity has to be addressed. Scalable encryption and authentication algorithms provide confidentiality and authentication. This paper describes survey of grid computing and enhancement of the level of security in dynamic grid environment in the services of authentication.
