Abstract
Trust has been an essential quality factor in grid computing that has its influence in various other parameters like response time, throughput and resource utilization. This paper considers a method in which the factor “trust” is used in scheduling and resource allocation. Trust is calculated for both Service Provider and Client. In order to guarantee efficiency in resource allocation, a scheduling technique, which schedules the jobs according to the trust index of the Clients, is proposed. This optimal resource allocation scheme is implemented in a cross domain environment, that is, domains having different security mechanisms. The authentication is done using the signing of X.509 certificates. A common administrator is used between cross domains to provide interoperability. Both identity-based and reputation-based trusts are calculated for each entity. This ensures best service to customers. To overcome single point of failure, additional systems are provided that act as the administrator. A dynamic fault tolerance technique is proposed to guarantee successful execution of jobs in the event of resource failures.
