One of the challenges to deploy Grid applications into the existing environment is to configure the Grid firewalls. The state of art technology is to open the ports as many as needed. Such firewall policy is so risky, and a more dynamic way for controlling the firewall is needed. In this project we propose a secure and dynamic mechanism to adaptively control the firewall for Grid computing. Also, an implementation is made to verify our ideas." }
