The purpose of this project was to come out with a theoretical framework to standardize the solutions to the existing security challenges. The principal objectives were to contribute to the ongoing research to help improve the security measures on grid computing. Hypervisor security model, Host/Platform security model, Security Communication model and Security between Guests were developed and implemented. The major finding derived from this study suggests that Grid Computing Security can have challenges in the following areas: Authentication and Authorization of users, integration to other exiting systems and enforcing trust policies within dynamic Grid environment. Based on the above mentioned challenges with Grid Computing Security a proposed conceptual model has been designed to solve these issues. The various models were implemented and tested to evaluate their performance.
