Abstract

Cryptographic and information security applications often involve many time-consuming computations, which need to be completed over heterogenous and geographically distributed computers. However, there lacks a general-purpose cryptographic computing environment. Grid technology can play a significant role in providing an efficient computational support for cryptographic applications. In this paper, we describe a general-purpose software architecture called Crypto-Grid for distributed high-performance cryptographic computing, which is designed on the top level of computational grid mechanisms, supported by grid environments such as Globus. The prototype implementation of Crypto-Grid under GT4 and experiment evaluation are also revealed.
