Corba Security

CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) Security is a framework designed to provide security services for distributed applications using CORBA. It ensures secure communication and interaction between objects in a distributed environment. Key Features:

• Authentication: Verifies the identities of users and objects to ensure that only authorized entities can access the system.
• Authorization: Controls access to resources based on predefined policies, ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions for their actions.
• Confidentiality: Encrypts data transmitted between objects to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
• Integrity: Ensures that data is not altered during transmission, maintaining the accuracy and consistency of information.
• Non-Repudiation: Provides proof of the origin and delivery of messages, preventing entities from denying their actions.
• Audit: Logs security-related events and activities for monitoring and compliance purposes.
• Secure Communication: Utilizes secure communication protocols to protect data in transit between distributed objects.
• Interoperability: Ensures compatibility with various security mechanisms and policies across different CORBA implementations.
• Policy Management: Allows administrators to define and manage security policies that govern access and interactions within the CORBA environment.
• Pluggable Security: Supports the integration of third-party security services and mechanisms, providing flexibility and extensibility
