Summary:The emerging grid infrastructure presents many challenging security issues that demand new access approach due to its inherent heterogeneity, multidomain characteristic and highly dynamic nature. In order to protect the secure sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed "virtual organizations", fine-grained access control in grid computing is therefore very necessary and important. In this paper, a semantic-aware access conrtol(SAAC) extending the RBAC with the semantic specification is proposed. Supplying semantic specification by the implementation of semantic inference engine (SIE), the administration for the applicability of users' role memberships to particular permissions is much more easy and precise. The enforcement of the SAAC model for grid application is presented. An experimental evaluation of its overheads is also described.
