CORBA Security Service

• Security Service defines a framework with functionality for authentication, authorization, encryption and auditing

  • Security functionality is largely transparent to application

• Defines only the interfaces - implementation can be chosen by ORB vendors

• Many CORBA products don’t provide a proper implementation of the CORBA Security Service

• We chose to use CORBA Security Service for

  • Proving the ownership of authorization certificates
  • Passing certificates from client to server
  • Verifying the received certificates on the server side
