Implementation and Evaluation of Integrity Protection Facilities for Active Grids

摘要

Some recent studies have shown that Grid systems can benefit from active networks technologies, thus a novel networking paradigm called Active Grid has been proposed. On the other hand, the development of appropriate security components for Grid systems is still in an early stage due to complexity and mostly academic use of Grids to date. However, security issues are exacerbated in Active Grids due to the availability of processing and caching capacity in intermediate network nodes, which adds to Grid complexity. In this paper we describe a set of facilities for protection of data integrity in Active Grids, and then present and discuss some experimental results from validation and evaluation test with the prototype implementation of these facilities.
