Obtaining Security Requirements for a Mobile Grid System

Abstract

Mobile Grid includes the characteristics of the Grid systems together with the peculiarities of Mobile Computing, with the additional feature of supporting mobile users and resources in a seamless, transparent, secure and efficient way. Security of these systems, due to their distributed and open nature, is considered a topic of great interest. In this article we present the practical results of applying a secured methodology to a real case, specifically the approach that define, identify and specify the security requirements. This methodology will help the building of a secured grid application in a systematic and iterative way.
