A software platform for secure applications based on CORBA

Shows an architecture for providing security services in a CORBA-based environment. We design it to follow the CORBA security specification and implement a prototype using a commercial product. The platform provides common security mechanisms such as authentication and access control for CORBA-based applications. It also has the security context management function, which is responsible for protecting the message contents. Applications can be established using the secure service interfaces on this platform. Therefore, this architecture gives us a base to deploy secure applications. This platform supports many secure characteristics, which are described in the specification, and it also provides a connection to external security services. We can deploy it in the information infrastructure
