An aspect-oriented approach to distributed object security

In this paper we present a security framework for Bond, a message-oriented distributed object middleware for network computing. Bond Security Framework, BSF, allows developers to exercise performance-security tradeoffs and use the security model best suited for a specific application and for a given environment. BSF consists of an extensible core and a set of well-defined security interfaces. Any Bond object can become a secure object when extended with a dynamic property called bondSecurityContext.
