Implementing Self-Protection in Distributed Grid Environment

Abstract

Grids encourage the dynamic addition of resources that are not likely to be benefited from the security that static, centrally administered commercial firewall's or IDS's provide. On the contrary, Grids need to enforce their own security policies that are self automated, as the manual management techniques are time consuming, insecure and error prone. This paper presents a new self-protection model---SPM based upon few principles of genetic algorithm.
