Proposal for INFOSEC Computer Science Research into Distributed Object  Computing Security
A Java Implementation of CORBA Security Services






Statement of work
 

  Extend our JGSS package to support the SESAME-based authentication and delegation protocols.  This package will provide the SESAME-based ECMA GSS-API supporting CSI (Common Secure Interoperability) level 2.

  Reimplement the SESAME authentication and delegation protocol entirely in Java

  Implement the ORB object level access control, delegation and audit security objects required by the OMG ORB level 2 security service 1.2 using standard Interceptor interfaces

  Implement dynamic interoperable security policy objects and policy decision objects for the Secure ORB to support security policy and service runtime replacement and interoperability

. Demonstrate the conformity of this implementation to CORBA Security Service 1.2, the interoperability with other CSS 1.2 compliant implementation including the SmallTalk implementation, and runtime  configurability in a mobile computing environment
