RSA Encryption Algorithm for Secured Grid Computing Data Transmissions

RSA encryption algorithm is a public key encryption technique and is considered as the most secure way of encryption and it is used for a long time. Our delicate data is placed in another infrastructure such as in the Grid Computing environment and the security worries increases with that. At that time, it is difficult to be guaranteed that our data is in the safe place. Thus, authentication has become the most important factor relating to this. There are many ways that has been discussed in the grid computing on the safe, efficient and scalable authentication that are either virtual centric or resource centric. Most of the grid computing uses public key infrastructure to secure the identification, but the exposure factor are still cannot be avoid. In order to satisfy the security need of grid computing environment, we design an alternative authentication mechanism using RSA encryption algorithm to secure the user identification.
