Title:

THE CORBA SECURITY SERVICE SPECIFICATION AND CORBA SECURITY IN PRACTICE

This seminar will first give a brief introduction to CORBA, and then focus on the CORBA Security Service Specification. The security functionality provided by the Security Service and its relevance to distributed systems security in general will be described on an abstract level. The seminar will also try to compare the Security Service Specification to CORBA security in the real world; issues like trust boundaries, Java security, business requirements etc. will be briefly put into context.
