A Password-based Authorization Management System Using AKE Protocol in Grid Systems

The authorization management in grid systems has various structures. This paper proposes a password-based authorization mechanism using generic three-party password-based key exchange (GPAKE). Our scheme could satisfy the demands of the process from access requests committed by users to the authorized access control. The security level of the scheme is lower than the systems based-certificates. Because of its convenient, it is useful in light-weight grid systems.
