In typical on demand grid computing scenarios, services from different organisations can potentially run in the same web service engine on a single grid node, making intraengine service security vital for any production system. In this paper, a solution to the problem of intra-engine interservice security for ad hoc grid environments based on WSRF is presented. To ensure that only authorized access to grid services is possible from within other services' code, a dynamic group enabled sandboxing

A prototypical implementation of the hot deployment service and the intra-engine service security approach based on the Globus Toolkit 4 (GT4) is used to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
