About this title

Synopsis

Grid computing is widely regarded as a technology of immense potential in both industry and academia. Together with a brief introduction into grid computing in general and underlying security technologies, this book offers the first concise and detailed introduction to this important area, targeting professionals in the grid industry. It can also be used for self-teaching as well as courses following the author’s tutorials at grid conferences.

Based on research and industry experience, the book structures the issues pertaining to grid computing security into three main categories: architecture-related, infrastructure-related, and management-related issues. It discusses all three categories in detail, presents existing solutions, standards, and products, and pinpoints their shortcomings and open questions.
