Security Architectures for COTS Based Distributed Systems

Abstract

The paper describes two experiments in the design of security architectures for distributed systems that are implemented with commercial off the shelf components. We added security components to protect information exchanged in a Distributed Interactive Simulation environment. We added a role-based access control component to a Workflow tool implemented with CORBA technologies. The two experiments followed the same approach that includes four steps(threat analysis, security policy definition, selection of security components and architecture efficiency evaluation).
