Aeolus: Reconcilable Key Management Mechanism for Secure Group Communication in Grid

In traditional grid, grid user can not validate whether grid service registered in grid platform can execute correctly or not because the system does not provide the measurement mechanism for grid service. In order to solve this problem, we propose a series of strategies and methods for trusted grid. These strategies and methods include: an access control policy for reference database, an integrity attestation for reference datasheet, a construction method of reference datasheet, a trusted storage algorithm of reference datasheet and a report algorithm of reference datasheet. All these constitute the measurement mechanism of service for trusted grid. Some experiments are done in order to validate the feasibility and the availability of this mechanism. The results show that it is feasible and efficient to validate whether grid service registered in trusted grid platform can execute correctly or not.
