This paper provides an extensive survey of the different methods of addressing security
issues in the grid computing environment, and specifically contributes to the research …

This document describes systems and methods for restricting program process capabilities.
In some implementations, the capabilities are restricted by limiting the rights or privileges …

Grid computing can meet computational demands and offers a promising resource utilization
approach. However, little research details the drivers of and obstacles to adoption of this …

Condor provides high throughput computing by leveraging idle-cycles on off-the-shelf
desktop machines. It also supports flocking, a mechanism for sharing resources among …

The operational principles, components, and organization of a Grid-computing infrastructure
called In-VIGO (standing for In Virtual Information Grid Organizations) are described. In …

This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast virtual machine (VM)
instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in …

Accountability is an important aspect of any computer system. It assures that every action
executed in the system can be traced back to some entity. Accountability is even more …

This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast Virtual Machine (VM)
instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in …

The ability to securely run arbitrary untrusted code on a wide variety of execution platforms is
a challenging problem in the Grid community. One way to achieve this is to run the code …

Most grid security researches focus on user authentication and secure communication, the
protection of grid computers is left to the underlying operating system. Unfortunately, most …
