Sztaki Desktop Grid: Building a Scalable, Secure Platform for Desktop Grid Computing

  • Chapter
Making Grids Work

Abstract

In this paper we present a concept how separate desktop grids can be used as building blocks for larger scale grids by organizing them in a hierarchical tree. We describe an enhanced security model which satisfies the requirements of the hierarchical setup and is aimed for real-world deployment.
