Abstract
The Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) proposed and implemented in Globus Toolkit has been a widely accepted solution for the security of grids in recent years. But there is no formal analysis or modelling on security mechanisms of GSI emerging in the literature yet. In this paper, we propose a formal logic, and formalize those primary security mechanisms using the logic. Our formalism not only is useful in understanding GSI but also provides us a substantial theoretic basis for some high-level security mechanisms to be developed based on GSI for the emerging service-oriented grid.
