Abstract

In this work, we provide some insights about the problem of managing credentials in grid environments. Since user mobility is a very common requirement in grid implementations, centralized credential servers are frequently used to store their cryptographic keys. We study some possible solutions for environments with stronger requirements regarding non-repudiation, where the use of credential servers may not be acceptable.
