    11= Security Overview = 
     2* The QosCosGrid stack relies on X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (proxy certificates) which is de facto standard authentication mechanism in grid environments. 
    23* All crucial communication is secured using HTTPG/HTTPS protocols. 
    34* Only one service (QCG-Computing) must be started with root privileges. However it adheres privilege separation model (similar to OpenSSH), thus actually only a very small amount of code is running with root privileges. Moreover most of the crucial operations (job submission, stage-in/stage-out operations) are performed as target local user so even breaking the service would not give attacker any more privileges that he already has.
