Abstract

A Grid computing system is a geographically distributed environment with autonomous domains that share resources amongst themselves. One primary goal of such a Grid environment is to encourage domain-to-domain interactions and increase the confidence of domains to use or share resources (a) without losing control over their own resources, and (b) ensuring confidentiality for others. To achieve this, the "trust" notion needs to be addressed so that trustworthiness makes such geographically distributed systems become more attractive and reliable for day-today use. In this paper, we view trust in two steps: (a) verifying the identity of an entity and what that identity is authorized to do, and (b) monitoring and managing the behavior of the entity and building a trust level based on that behavior. The identity trust has been the focus of many researchers, but unfortunately the behavior trust did not catch much attention. We present a formal definition of behavior trust and reputation and discuss a behavior trust management architecture that models the process of evolving and managing of behavior trust in Grid computing Systems.

Towards Trust-Aware Resource Management in Grid Computing Systems
Farag Azzedin

2nd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGRID'02), 2002

Resource management is a central part of a Grid computing system. In a large-scale wide-area system such as the Grid, security is a prime concern. One approach is to be conservative and implement techniques such as sandboxing, encryption, and other access control mechanisms on all elements of the Grid. However, the overhead caused by such a design may negate the advantages of Grid computing. This study examines the integration of the notion of "trust" into resource management such that the allocation process is aware of the security implications. We present a formal definition of trust and discuss a model for incorporating trust into Grid systems. As an example application of the ideas proposed, a resource management algorithm that incorporates trust is presented. The performance of the algorithm is examined via simulations.

Trusting agents for grid computing
Stephen Jarvis

2004 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37583), 2004

The Grid vision is to allow compute resources to be shared and utilised globally, with these distributed resources belonging to the same Virtual Organisation (VO). These resources execute jobs submitted by users, who are not in the resources' local domain and hence have no control over these resources. Conversely these users are not controlled by the resource owners. Certificates provide a common, useful security mechanism to overcome these barriers and set out access rights, but they do not guarantee that the resources, or users, can be trusted. This is due to the fact that resources and users may be unreliable; this situation may not be reflected in the users' perception of the reliability of the resource owner as a whole or vice versa. This paper describes a trust framework model for Grid computing, which enables users to execute their jobs on reliable and efficient resources, thereby satisfying clients' quality-of-service (QoS) requirements.

An Approach to find Trustworthiness among Different Domains in a Grid Environment
Sarbjeet Singh

The goal of Grid computing is to create illusion of a simple yet large and powerful self managing virtual computer out of a large collection of connected heterogeneous systems sharing various combinations of resources. Such an environment introduces challenging trust related issues as both service providers and users can come from mutually distrusted administrative domains and any of them can behave maliciously. The use of trust evaluation simplifies the security architecture and is evaluated on the basis of a number of parameters like trust decay, reputation, trust updation, transitivity etc. A number of models have been proposed by different researchers for the evaluation of trust but many of them have missed one or the another required parameters that are necessary for the evaluation of trust in a comprehensive way. In this paper a novel approach for evaluation of trust has been proposed that insists on the use of a number of imnportant parameters to calculate trust in a comprehensive way.

Dynamic Trust Federation in Grids
Olle Mulmo

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006

Grids are becoming economically viable and productive tools. They provide a way of utilizing a vast array of linked resources such as computing systems, databases and services online within Virtual Organizations (VO). However, today's Grid architectures are not capable of supporting dynamic, agile federation across multiple administrative domains and the main barrier, which hinders dynamic federation over short time scales is security. Federating security and trust is one of the most significant architectural issues in Grids. Existing relevant standards and specifications can be used to federate security services, but do not directly address the dynamic extension of business trust relationships into the digital domain. In this paper we describe an experiment which highlights those challenging architectural issues and forms the basis of an approach that combines a dynamic trust federation and a dynamic authorization mechanism for addressing dynamic security trust federation in Grids. The experiment made with the prototype described in this paper is used in the NextGRID 1 project to define the requirements of next generation Grid architectures adapted to business application needs.

Introducing The Different Challenges Regarding Trust Models in Grid Computing
Sourav Gayen

2013

Grid computing, being a gifted way for distributed supercomputing. There are lots of challenges for grid computing, both from technical point of view and from nontechnical point of view and there are quite a few barriers from grid computing being widely accepted by common end users. Grid computing is taken to the next level which aids in the discovery and use of remote resources for computing and storage. The Grids create an illusion of a simple, large and robust self configuring virtual computer consisting of well connected heterogeneous systems sharing various resources. The users don’t need any direct control over the diverse resources of the Grid. A major difficulty for Grid services is how to gain confidence that a distant system is performing in accordance with their norms. Proper resource distribution and deployment cannot be achieved unless trust is established in the Grid. In this paper we have discussed different challenges and barriers for the improvement and usage of gri...

Establishing and Evaluating Trust in a Grid Environment
Seema Bawa

IEEE 10th International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks, 2009

The migration of processing of computational jobs from centralized systems to open distributed systems have resulted in many communication channels and transactions. These crucial and confidential jobs span a range of domains and organizations, not all of which can be trusted to the same extent. Inconsistencies in current trust relationships highlight the need for a flexible, general-purpose trust management system. In this paper, we have proposed a Trust Model for establishing and evaluating trust in Grid environments. The proposed Trust model computes reputation and trustworthiness of the transacting domain on the basis of number of past transactions and rated feedback score.

Trust Based Authorization Framework for Grid Services
Sarbjeet Singh

Grid computing allows sharing of services and resources distributed over geographically dispersed, heterogeneous, autonomous administrative domains. As a domain generally has no idea about the trustworthiness of other domains, it may hesitate in accessing shared services and resources provided by other domains. Accessing resources and services from untrusted domains may pose dangerous consequences to the source domain. Trust is an important parameter in achieving faithful domain to domain interaction. Domains must be able to determine the trustworthiness of each other for the access of a particular service. Domains must also provide trust based access to resources and services that they expose in the environment. This paper describes different facets associated with trust issues among different entities in a grid environment and proposes a trust model to establish and manage trust relationships. The trust model provides support to calculate direct as well as recommended trust. Based on this model, a trust based authorization framework is proposed that can be used to provide trust based access to grid services. The goal of the model is to encourage trust based domain to domain interaction and increase the confidence of domains in accessing shared resources provided by other domains. The framework has been implemented in .NET environment with the support of WSE 3.0 toolkit. The framework has been evaluated by implementing a scenario that involves enforcement of different trust policies. The time taken by the enforcement component to evaluate trust policies has been noted. The results obtained from the implementation imply that the approach is workable and can be used to provide trust based access to grid services.

Recent trust models in grid
Prof. S. Ramachandram

A grid is a framework providing services to access and manage distributed hardware and software resources. A thorough authentication is required before any requested access or operation is allowed on any resource of the grid. In particular, much risk is involved when the grid is used for e-commerce where it is necessary to share resources with unknown parties. It is difficult for a resource user on the grid to identify the quality of the resource providers. Trust is one mechanism with which one can identify the quality of the resource provider. Various models are proposed in the literature on the use of trust mechanisms in grid. This paper presents a survey on various models proposed recently on trust management in grid computing.

Integrating trust into grid resource management systems
Farag Azzedin

Proceedings International Conference on Parallel Processing, 2002

Grid computing systems that have been the focus of much research activities in recent years provide a virtual framework for controlled sharing of resources across institutional boundaries. Security is one major concern in any system that enables remote execution. Several techniques can be used for providing security in Grid systems including sandboxing, encryption, and other access control and authentication mechanisms. The additional overhead caused by these mechanisms may negate the performance advantages gained by Grid computing. Hence, we contend that it is essential for the scheduler to consider the security implications while performing resource allocations. In this paper, we present a trust model for Grid systems and show how the model can be used to incorporate the security implications into scheduling algorithms. Three scheduling heuristics that can be used in a Grid system are modified to incorporate the trust notion and simulations are performed to evaluate the performance.

    Bayesian Network Trust Model in Peer-to-Peer Networks
    Arif Rahman

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004

    In this paper, we propose a Bayesian network-based trust model in peerto-peer networks. Since trust is multi-faceted, even in the same context, peers still need to develop differentiated trust in different aspects of other peers' behaviors. The peer's needs are different in different situations. Depending on the situation, a peer may need to consider its trust in a specific aspect of another peer's capability or in a combination of multiple aspects. Bayesian networks provide a flexible method to represent differentiated trust and combine different aspects of trust.
