Abstract

Securing the communication between participants in Grid computing environments is an important task, because the participants do not know if the exchanged information has been modified, intercepted or coming/going from/to the right target. In this paper, a hybrid approach based on a combination of incomparable public session keys and certificateless public key cryptography for dealing with different threats to the information flow is presented. The properties of the proposed approach in the presence of various threats are discussed.
