Product Description

Product Description
The CORBAsecurity specification adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) represents a major step forward in making object technology suitable for business application development. The specification document, however, is long, detailed, and complex; it is a time-consuming task for software developers to make their way through it, and it is inaccessible to CIOs and other technical managers who need to understand object security and its impact on their organizations. CORBA Security provides a readable and less technical overview of the specification and a guide to the security of object systems. Written from a policy point of view, the book will help you decide what security policies are appropriate for your organization and evaluate the object-based security options that can help you manage those policies. For those unfamiliar with basic security and object technology concepts, clear introductions to these topics will bring you up to speed. The book also provides a list of questions you can ask your secure object system vendor-questions that will get behind the jargon and acronyms and give you the information you need to determine just how safe the product really is. Readers will get an in-depth look at each element of computer security and how the CORBAsecurity specification fulfills each of these security needs. Topics covered include identification, authentication, and privilege; access control; message protection; delegation and proxy problems; auditing; and, non-repudiation. The author also provides numerous real-world examples of how secure object systems can be used to enforce useful security policies. 0201325659B04062001

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Distributed Object Security, 30 April 2001
By A Customer
This book is a refereshing alternative to the usual dry, weighty tomes published on the topic of information security. Although the specific framework used for the examples is the CORBAsecurity specification, it does serve as a very useful primer on the essential security concepts involved in other distributed object implementations such as Java.

The text is broken up into easily digestible chunks, with summaries in the margin making it easy to flip through the book to find a particular point you want to review. My only criticism is that the clip-art is a little too "cute" for my taste, but that doesn't impair the technical accuracy of the plentiful diagrams.

An unexpected bonus, and it's worth buying the book just for this, is the chapter "Questions to Ask Your Secure Object System Vendor" - try it out, you'll soon have them squirming!
