Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of a solution proposed to guarantee the security of a grid application monitoring system – the OCM-G. Two aspects of security are distinguished: inter-component communication and forge-component attack. The solution is based on methods of the Grid Security Infrastructure. We show that even authentication, encryption and integrity via digital signatures are not enough to achieve a desired security level. In our system, a special protocol of extending of the logical structures in the OCM-G, so called Virtual Monitoring Systems, was needed in addition to the standard security mechanisms.
