                 Security and Trust for the Grids

The grid computing paradigm offers both the availability of
abundant computing resources, and the storage of increased
amounts of valuable data. Such information systems heavily
rely on the provision of adequate security. In the evolution
of grids, security threats were overlooked in the desire to
implement a high performance distributed computational system.
But now the growing size and profile of the grid require
comprehensive security solutions as they are critical to the
success of the endeavor. A comprehensive security system,
capable of responding to any attack on grid resources, is
indispensable to guarantee its anticipated adoption by the
enterprises and the general public. This talk will cover security
and trust challenges for the grids; state of the art of grid
security mechanisms; the concept of virtualizing security services
and their pluggable implementation; and finally the simulations
of grid security services.
