Abstract
Grid travelers are special mobile processes responsible for coordinating resources that are distributed across multiple virtual organizations (VOs). We propose a security infrastructure called G-PASS to provide security support for grid travelers during their trip and credential mapping when crossing VO boundaries. We demonstrate the power and feasibility of G-PASS with a bio-informatics application running on multiple VOs. We report and analyze the overheads incurred in migration decisions and the actual process migrations. G-PASS can be installed with GSI as the base, thus making it compatible with existing grid middleware.
This research is supported in part by HKU Foundation Seed Grant 28506002, the China 863 National Grid project, and a HKU grant for the HKU Grid Point.
