How to solve security issues and problems arising in distributed
systems.
Security is one of the leading concerns in developing dependable
distributed systems of today, since the integration of different
components in a distributed manner creates new security problems
and issues. Service oriented architectures, the Web, grid computing
and virtualization - form the backbone of today's distributed
systems. A lens to security issues in distributed systems is best
provided via deeper exploration of security concerns and solutions
in these technologies.
"Distributed Systems Security" provides a holistic insight into
current security issues, processes, and solutions, and maps out
future directions in the context of today's distributed systems.
This insight is elucidated by modeling of modern day distributed
systems using a four-tier logical model -host layer, infrastructure
layer, application layer, and service layer (bottom to top). The
authors provide an in-depth coverage of security threats and issues
across these tiers. Additionally the authors describe the
approaches required for efficient security engineering, alongside
exploring how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to
proactively meet the dynamic needs of security for the
next-generation distributed systems. The practical issues thereof
are reinforced via practical case studies.
"Distributed Systems Security: "
Presents an overview of distributed systems security issues,
including threats, trends, standards and solutions.Discusses
threats and vulnerabilities in different layers namely the host,
infrastructure, application, and service layer to provide a
holistic and practical, contemporary view of enterprise
architectures.Provides practical insights into developing
current-day distributed systems security using realistic case
studies.
This book will be of invaluable interest to software engineers,
developers, network professionals and technical/enterprise
architects working in the field of distributed systems security.
Managers and CIOs, researchers and advanced students will also find
this book insightful.
