Abstract
In recent years, various attacks have increasingly been making their way into the world of information. In this context, security in distributed operating systems is poised to become a crucial element. However, currently entirely new information markets have opened up as playing fields for a number of computer criminals, and therefore it is still the job of the user to protect the data. In the current chapter, we shed light upon security policies, security mechanisms, various categories of attacks such as denial-of-service attacks, Globus security architecture, along with distribution of security mechanisms. Furthermore, we have also investigated the various strategies of attack that occur frequently in any information system under consideration.
