Integrating SSL to the JaCoWeb security framework: project and implementation

This paper presents an integration of the secure socket layer (SSL) and JacORB, according to the CORBA security model, which does not affect the functionality and characteristics of the ORB. The project and implementation of this framework take flexibility and interoperability concerns related to the integration of security technologies in consideration, aspects that are not well described in the Object Management Group (OMG) CORBAsec specifications. Therefore, the main requirements of open systems are assured: portability, reusability and interoperability.
