A SECURE GRID ENABLED SIGNATURE VERIFICATION SYSTEM

The emerging Grid technologies has changed the way people think about computation by presenting new paradigms and application models. This paper is a part of a joint research project between Ain Shams University in Egypt and George Washington University in USA to build a system for signature verification. The paper present a new approach to solve such problems using Grid approaches to increase performance and resource utilization while reducing the maintenance costs and security risks of the system. The limitations of other possible solutions and the advantages of Grid solutions have make it a good paradigms for future applications. A testbed was created linking the two universities was used to test the proposed architecture and prove its applicability in real applications.
