From Remarks on Internet and Java Security Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Mehmet Sen


1 A process trusts the process manager that created it. A process manager is a resource proxy that is responsible for process creation.
2 A process manager and the processes it creates are assumed to execute within a single trust domain.
3 There is a mutual trust relationship between all processes created by the same user proxy/resource proxy pair.
4 Access control for a resource is specified by local policy and implemented via local mechanisms.
5 Any Globus specific subject can be mapped into resource specific subjects (e.g. user ids) for local access control mechanisms.
