Innovations for Grid Security from Trusted Computing
Wenbo Mao (HP) Hai Jin (Huazhong Univ) and Andrew Martin (Oxford Univ)
Abstract:
The Trusted Computing (TC) initiative developed by Trusted Computing Group (TCG) takes a distributed-system-wide approach to the provisions of integrity protection of resources. The TC's notion of trust and security can be described as conformed system behaviours of a platform environment such that the conformation can be attested to a remote challenger. We consider that such a notion of integrity protection of resources naturally suits the security requirements for Grid computing or science collaborations. We identify and discuss in this paper a number of innovations that the TC technology could offer for improving the Grid security.

Secure Access of Medical Data in Trusted Computing Grid.
Feng Bao (I2R, A-Star and NGO, Singapore)
Abstract:
By exploiting tamper resistance and self-administering features of TPM-augmented devices in grid architecture, we propose a secure access scheme of medical data. The system is especially effective in withstanding insider attacks. We explore specific techniques for attaining the query-driven encryption and describe the complete system operation for query execution.

Toward Trusted Grid Computing, Lessons Learned from LCG/EGEE
Eric Yan (AP VO, Acedemia Sinica, Taiwan)
Abstract:
Grid Computing is for coordinated resource sharing and collaboration across autonomous domains. As the next generation infrastructure, the Grid system need to be a trust computing environment to support various level of security requirements from e-Science, e-Government, and e-Commerce. For the first world-wide scale and the largest Grid system, LCG/EGEE is implementing a trustworthy computing environment for e-Science, by devising site, regional and global policy and tactic architecture and guidelines, and aided by monitoring and management tools. In the future, the trust computing will be a major milestone for Grid security infrastructure. We’d like to propose a way toward this objective based on the knowledge learned from LCG/EGEE.
