Security Issues in Distributed Computing System Models

Distributed computing systems allow homogenous/heterogeneous computers and workstations to act as a computing environment. In this environment, users can uniformly access local and remote resources in order to run processes. Users are not aware of which computers their processes are running on. This might pose some complicated security problems. This chapter provides a security review of distributed systems. It begins with a survey about different and diverse definitions of distributed computing systems in the literature. Different systems are discussed with emphasize on the most recent. Finally, different aspects of distributed systems security and prominent research directions are explored.
