SecurSight: An Architecture for Secure Information Access
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes SecurSight, an architecture that combines authentication, authorization, and secure communications. The primary goal of this architecture is to secure access to network resources, while providing a smooth migration path from legacy authentication and authorization methods to a public-key infrastructure. Authentication may utilize either shared secrets or public/private key pairs. Authorization is public-key based and provides both direct support for PKI-aware applications and indirect support for legacy applications. Authorization credentials are portable, and may be used in locationindependent fashion, without the need for cumbersome export and import procedures.

متن کاملSecure Compartmented Data Access over an Untrusted Network using a COTS-based Architecture
In this paper, we present an approach to secure compartmented data access over an untrusted network using a secure network computing architecture. We describe the architecture and show how application-level firewalls and other commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products may be used to implement compartmentalized access to sensitive information and to provide access control over an untrusted networ...
متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
