Foil 104 Globus System Security Policy and Requirements -- Overview

From Basic Principles of Java and Internet Security CPS616 Web Technologies -- Spring 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Globus is a distributed computing system http://www.globus.org/security/policy.htm
Globus security mechanisms are intended for an environment in which "users" initiate "computations" that acquire, use and release multiple, geographically distributed "resources".
Some properties of these entities are:
  • The user population may be large and dynamic.
  • The resource population may be large and dynamic.
  • A computation may acquire, start processes on, and release resources dynamically during its execution.
