$2 Million NSF Grant Funds Grid Security Research and Builds Self-Defense Toolkits at USC
Grid Computing, with its promise of worldwide sharing of
computational power and resources is emerging as a major
21st century technology - and a possible target for
pranksters, criminals or even terrorists.
Now, funded by
a $2
million grant from the National Science Foundation, computer
scientists at the University of Southern California and
international collaborators are creating
tools to enable the Grid to defend itself, automatically.
