Identifying Secure Mobile Grid Use Cases

Mobile Grid includes the characteristics of the Grid systems together with the peculiarities of Mobile Computing, with the additional feature of supporting mobile users and resources in a seamless, transparent, secure, and efficient way. Security of these systems, due to their distributed and open nature, is considered a topic of great interest. We are elaborating a process of development to build secure mobile Grid systems considering security on all life cycles. In this chapter, we present the practical results applying our development process to a real case, specifically we apply the part of security requirements analysis to obtain and identify security requirements of a specific application following a set of tasks defined for helping us in the definition, identification, and specification of the security requirements on our case study. The process will help us to build a secure Grid application in a systematic and iterative way. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60960-603-9.ch012
