Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of a dynamic key infrastructure for Grid. It utilises the properties of Identity-based Cryptography (IBC) to simplify key management techniques used in current Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) settings for Grid. This approach can offer greater simplicity, flexibility, and enhanced computation trade-offs.
