Description
The architecture of the computational Grid has been
thoughtfully engineered to achieve a high degree of
dependability: quality services must always be available
even if the presence of faults in the system may have a
significant probability. We identify that, in the Grid
architecture at present, the QoS in dependability is at the
cost of a compromised trustworthiness.
The compromise can in fact reduce or even nullify the very
service of dependability if the Grid technology is deployed
in a default setting of non-collegial environment. We
present the work of the Daonity Project and discuss how
Trusted Computing technologies can be applied to maintain
QoS for both dependability and trustworthiness for the Grid.
Daonity is an Open Grid Forum Project attempting to improve
Grid Security Infrastructure using Trusted Computing
technologies.
