All rights reserved. 0-13-239227-5 Security Threats, Policies, and Mechanisms Security implies dependability, confidentiality, and integrity. Types of security threats to consider: Interception – an unauthorized party gains access to data or service Interruption – situation where data or service becomes unavailable Modification – unauthorized changig of data or tampering with a service so that it no longer adheres to its spec. Fabrication – situation where data or activity generated that normally would not exist.

All rights reserved. 0-13-239227-5 Example: The Globus Security Architecture (1) Globus is a system supporting large scale distributed computations ? computational grid The Globus security policy consists of rules: The environment consists of multiple administrative domains. Local operations are subject to a local domain security policy only. Global operations require the initiator to be known in each domain where the operation is carried out.

All rights reserved. 0-13-239227-5 Example: The Globus Security Architecture (2) Operations between entities in different domains require mutual authentication. Global authentication replaces local authentication. Controlling access to resources is subject to local security only. Users can delegate rights to processes. A group of processes in the same domain can share credentials.
