Enhancing Access Control Efficiency in Grid Computing through Blockchain-Enhanced Access Control Framework for Grid Computing

This research study explores how blockchain technology can be integrated into grid computing to improve access control efficiency through a scalable framework. The proposed framework emphasizes decentralized identity management and transparent access control policies using smart contracts. Initially, users and network nodes create decentralized identities, setting up the blockchain network with an appropriate consensus mechanism. Access control policies are embedded in smart contracts, which provide secure authentication and authorization for users based on their blockchain identities. This system ensures access requests are processed securely and transparently, with smart contracts handling operations autonomously. Additionally, the framework includes a consensus-based method for decentralized agreement on updates to access control policies. The algorithm proposed in this study aims to create a resilient and secure grid computing environment, aligning with current trends in decentralized and secure computing. Testing showed that the model improved performance and security, surpassing the capabilities of existing models.
