When solving computational problems, research teams often use computational resources that are provided for this by various organizations or individual volunteers. Software and data used by the research team may be a subject of intellectual property. For this reason, it becomes relevant to protect software and data from potential intruders who can join the project under the guise of volunteers. The article provides an overview and an analysis of existing approaches to overcome this problem in the general case. The possibilities of the BOINC infrastructure, relevant for the development of various information security scenarios, are considered in detail. The concept of protecting data from unauthorized access, based on the integration of the client side of BOINC with the VirtualBox system, is proposed.
Keywords: protection of information, grid-systems, volunteer computing, BOINC, virtualization, VirtualBox.
