Title
StReD: A quality of security framework for storage resources in Data Grids
Abstract
Securing storage resources in Grid environments has increasingly become a major concern to make Grids attractive for a wide range of data-intensive applications, because security requirements are often imposed on storage resources to support security-critical applications. However, existing storage systems are unable to dynamically adjust their quality of security to meet the flexible security needs of complex data-intensive applications. To remedy this deficiency, we propose in this paper a quality of security framework, or StReD, for storage resources in Data Grids. In this framework, we integrate a quality of security adaptor with an array of security services. Applications running in the framework are enabled to specify flexible security requirements and the desired response times of disk requests. The framework leverages the adaptor to dynamically control the quality of security for disk requests, thereby achieving good tradeoffs between the security and storage system throughput. Experimental results based on a simulated Grid with storage resources show that the proposed framework is capable of significantly improving the quality of security and guaranteeing the desired response times of disk requests.
