Abstract

Hector is a work-in-progress middleware solution for distributed objects. It is modelled on the Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) and is designed to sit above a mixture of communication protocols and other middleware environments (such as CORBA and DCE), hence creating a common platform for the interoperability of distributed objects. For a middleware solution to be used in a distributed and heterogeneous environment, in a less than perfect world, it is necessary to consider security implications, and incorporate solutions into the design. The SecArch project attempts to incorporate security into Hector without creating a proprietary solution and by utilising new and developing ideas as well as established and proven security concepts. The project also aims to keep Hector as open and flexible as possible.
