Would a metacomputing environment conflict with the security concerns of such a project?
A. In this particular case, the users are not concerned about the machines that compute the solutions, but rather they are concerned about divulging the constraints making up their problem. • Q. Can you elaborate on the security issues that must be in place for both the owners of the machines within the metacomputing platform and for the end user whose solution is being computed within this environment? A. Security is a very important issue. We have chosen to build our optimization algorithms on top of existing metacomputing toolkits. As such, the security features offered to the owners of machines and the end users are precisely those implemented in these metacomputing tookits. For example, our algorithms will run with the Condor resource management and scheduling software. Condor implements low level operating system constructs guaranteeing that all programs running on a remote machine cannot harm the system. However, our current algorithms offer little in the way of security to the
