Abstract

Using our Alchemy research system as an exemplar system, we discuss different approaches to overcoming port-controlled security boundary limitations to geographically distributed computing environments while maintaining the inherent security provided by these boundaries. This discussion is relevant to a number of parallel/distributed strategies for grid and cluster architectures. It also provides insight into general security concerns in future distributed computing networks and how these may be overcome.
