Security solutions for jini-based applications

Abstract EN

Since its first release, Jini became a promising technology to build fault tolerant distributed systems.

The actual Jini architecture however lacks a strong security model.

Based on a concrete example, this paper aims at reviewing the main security architectures that have been proposed by the research community and presents an evaluation of them.

This work may serve as a basis for securing Jini-based systems by selecting the set of solutions provided by each model, depending on the security needs introduced by each specific application.
