Secure component distribution using WEBCOM

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

WebCom is a distributed computing architecture that may be used to distribute application components for execution over a network. A practical trust management system for the WebCom architecture is described. KeyNote-based authorization credentials are used to determine whether a WebCom server is authorized to schedule, and whether a WebCom client is authorised to execute, mobile application components. Secure WebCom provides a meta-language for bringing together the components of a distributed application in such a way that the components need not concern themselves with security issues.
