A Security Infrastructure for Distributed Java Applications
Overview This paper describes the design and implementation of a security infrastructure for a distributed Java application. This work is inspired by SDSI/SPKI, but has a few twists of its own. The paper defines a logic for access control, such that access is granted if a proof that it should be granted is derivable in the logic. The logic supports linked local name spaces, privilege delegation across administrative domains, and attributes certificates. The paper uses SSL to establish secure channels through which principals can "Speak", and have implemented the access control system in Java. This paper discusses general issues related to building secure, distributed Java applications that it discovered.
