Description
Biological data are most times published and then become public ones. They, then, do
not need to be isolated or encrypted. But, in some cases, these data stemed from
patients or are analyzed with, for instance, pharmaceutical or agronomics goals. Also
in simple ways , these data, before to become public, have to be kept confidential
while researchers haven’t been able to publish their work or to register them. So
they are a lot of cases where the integrity and the confidentiality of biological
data have to be protected against unauthorized accesses. But, as these private data
are also large datasets, they need high-throughput computing and huge data storage to
processed, such as ones produced by complete genome projects. These requirements are
enhanced in the context of a Grid, where the computing and storage resources are
distributed across a large-scale platform. We have developed a distributed service to
securize biological data on grid: the EncFile encrypted files management system. We
have used it on the production platform of the EGEE grid project. Thus we provided
grid users with a user-friendly component that doesn’t require any user privileges.
