As a pipeline, AMBO fit well into a geopolitical strategy of creating a U.S.-controlled energy-security grid that was first developed by President Bill Clinton's Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and later by Vice President Dick Cheney.
Smart grids have played an important role in the security of grid operations and the stability of energy supply [1].
As a critical component of grid security, secure and efficient grid authentication needs to be well addressed.
How to maintain the reliability and security of power grid is important to the power grid operation when large scale wind turbines are connected to weak grid [6, 7].
The Virtual Organizations concept serves as the basis for the Grid security model that groups all security management functions applicable to various aspects of binding, policy, and federation.
Anyway, iRODS supports Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) besides secure password access and can be integrated with authentication protocols such as Kerberos [ 45], if more tight security policies must be satisfied.
In terms of the user base and installations, the grid security infrastructure is the uncontested leader in academic grid security implementations.
This chapter argues that although this may partly be the case, any general statements on inadequate or immature grid security are false because of the complex nature of the security in grid computing.
Although fundamentally it is not new, the flexible and robust Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) appears to some users to be a new security mechanism.
