TL;DR
This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance security and trust in volunteer grid environments by using identity federation, agent technology, and dynamic access control policies, enabling more reliable and scalable distributed computing.
Contribution
It introduces a new framework combining identity federation, agent technology, and dynamic access control to build trusted and secure volunteer grid environments.
Findings
The proposed solution improves trustworthiness in volunteer grids.
It enables dynamic and flexible access control policies.
The framework is designed to be scalable and adaptable.
Abstract
Intensive experiences show and confirm that grid environments can be considered as the most promising way to solve several kinds of problems relating either to cooperative work especially where involved collaborators are dispersed geographically or to some very greedy applications which require enough power of computing or/and storage. Such environments can be classified into two categories; first, dedicated grids where the federated computers are solely devoted to a specific work through its end. Second, Volunteer grids where federated computers are not completely devoted to a specific work but instead they can be randomly and intermittently used, at the same time, for any other purpose or they can be connected or disconnected at will by their owners without any prior notification. Each category of grids includes surely several advantages and disadvantages; nevertheless, we think that…
