Hi everyone,
I have returned to security considerations for grid job scheduling and
execution. I am wondering if there are people on this list, people you
know, or mailing lists to whom I could post a few thoughts and questions
regarding grid security.
Specifically, I'm thinking about the use of "identity tokens". For example:
Bob gives Alice a token which only Alice can use to:
access Bob's data
generate data in Bob's "file space"
withdraw "grid bucks" from Bob's grid bank account
and this token would have limits on it (amount of data generated,
maximum "grid bucks", lifetime).
Anyway, I'm sure this kind of thing has done before, or has been
considered and discarded, so I'd like to find out more about it. If
not, I'd like to push the idea around with other people.
Cheers,
Ian
