Abstract
Grid technology is increasingly being looked upon as a natural extension of the internet for engaging in complex data processing tasks over resources which are distributed across the world. Architects and developers employing grid systems must take into consideration security implications. Dynamic generation of virtual organizations leads to a synergistic picture which has to address security requirements never encountered before. Globus toolkit has devised a framework for making secure use of grid resource components which has been proved to be a feasible solution by a number of academic and scientific organizations. This paper is an attempt to identify and discern mechanisms proposed by Globus security model with certain test scenarios.
