Bridging Secure WebCom and European DataGrid security for multiple VOs over multiple grids

Abstract

Secure job submission across multiple virtual organisations becomes more important as Grids proliferate. WebCom-G will bring together the condensed graph model of computing and existing Grid software from the European DataGrid (EDG) project to allow users to execute complex tasks involving multiple Grids. In this paper we discuss the security aspects of a system to allow users of existing Grids to securely execute condensed graphs containing Grid jobs. We outline the process that bridges the EDG security architecture and Secure WebCom to make this possible.
