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.
