A Novel Time based Authentication Technique for Enhancing Grid Computing Security

Secure data communication is the most vital and crucial concern in Grid computing environment, where data flows across multiple components in different organizational domains that are not under control of the single data proprietor. An appropriate authentication mechanism is the very basic requisite for building a protected Grid environment. In this paper we have analyzed authentication related issues in Grid and proposed a novel Time Variant Authentication technique that will check the authenticity of remote user time to time throughout the accessing of the remote server which enhances Grid security
