The THETA (Trusted Heterogenous Architecture System (Version 2.2)

Abstract

This report is intended for people who wish to acquire a general conceptual overview of the THETA system and the technical advancements that resulted from the research. The report defines the terminology and the basics of secure, distributed, object oriented environments. Programming for the THETA system, administration, usage, and other related information is provided in other contract deliverables listed in this report. Chapter 1 contains an introduction to THETA, explaining its security philosophy, architecture, and implementation. Chapter 2 provides a comparison of THETA and CORBA, and discusses the potential for a CORBA compliant version of THETA. Chapter 3 compares THETA and DCE, and explores approaches to integration. Chapter 4 presents a list of the accomplishments of the THETA project. Lessons learned from this effort are presented in Chapter 5. Possibilities for future THETA development are outlined in Chapter 6.
