Research on multi-domain authentication mechanism in grid
Geng Yang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2007
With the appearance and application of Grid technology,the security problem becomes the emphasis of grid research.Globus Security Infrastructure(a security component in Globus) provides us a solution in single authentication domain.Currently,how to resolve the authentication across domains is the most important security problem in the large-scale grid.In this paper,authentication mechanism of GSI is introduced firstly.Then,the multi-domain authentication method based on mapping is proposed.Grid security performance can be improved by this new mechanism.High-level implementation of this new mechanism is shown in detailed at the end of the paper.
