Simplifying Client-Server Application Development With Secure Reusable Components

Overview Internet-related crime is increasing at a rapid rate. Attackers exploit weaknesses in the Web's underlying communication protocols, which were originally designed for a non-hostile environment. Meanwhile, society is facing a large deficit of security trained people that can remedy the situation. The development of secure software is simply too complex for most of today's IT professionals. This paper presents a communication component that reduces the complexity involved in engineering secure client-server applications, thereby enabling software practitioners to develop more secure systems. Specifically, the paper proposes a solution based on a Public Key Infrastructure that encapsulates communication, allowing programmers to focus on high-level application development issues.
