IST Call 5 Preparatory Workshop on "Advanced Grid Technologies, Systems & Services"
Date: 31 January - 1 February 2005
Location: Hotel Carrefour de l'Europe, Grasmarkt 110, B-1000 Brussels
Parallel session on "Security and Trust for the Grid"
Monday January 31st 2005
Session organiser: Jorge Gasos
Abstract
Grid systems were initially developed to support computationally intensive tasks, generally in environments where privacy and security was not a major concern. With the evolution of Grids towards open environments involving 'unknown' organisations and users, properties such as security, trust and privacy have become increasingly important. In addition, they are crucial properties for the commercial uptake of Grid technologies by companies and individual users.
The concept of security in the very broad sense encompasses many different notions such as trustworthiness, integrity, confidentiality, identity identification, privacy and reliability, to name just some. Many commercial solutions have been already developed for computer security in conventional systems, and ongoing research in the area is addressing unresolved problems. On the other hand, security in Grid systems may raise new challenges since its underlying principle is sharing and collaborating across multiple administrative domains, both at the application level and the resource level.
This session will analyse state-of-the-art security solutions that can be reused and adapted for Grid systems. It will also explore the particular security needs of the Grid that may call for specific research and development. The perspective of security solutions for business and industrial applications will be central to the session.
