Foil 109 Elements of Globus Security Policy I

From Basic Principles of Java and Internet Security CPS616 Web Technologies -- Spring 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Authentication is required on all interactions between a user proxy and a resource proxy. A process may authenticate itself to another process. No other authentication is required.
All authentication is mutual.
A user proxy can interact with resource proxies on behalf of a user, and with the same privileges; but this power is granted only for a limited time. In other words, if a resource proxy trusts a user, it will also trust a user proxy for that user.
Mutual trust exists between resource proxies associated with the same resource.
