Abstract. As modern SOA and Grid infrastructures are being moved from academic and research environments to more challenging business and commercial applications, such issue as control of resource sharing become of crucial importance. In order to manage and share resources within distributed environments the idea of Virtual Organizations (VO) emerged, which enables sharing only subsets of resources among partners of such a VO within potentially larger settings. This paper describes the Framework for Intelligent Virtual Organizations (FiVO), focusing on its functionality of enforcing security (Authentication and Authorization) in dynamically deployed Virtual Organizations. The paper presents the overall architecture of the framework along with different security settings which FiVO can support within one Virtual Organization.
