Linda Gricius (April, 1998): DAIS Security provides near level 2 conformance with the CORBASEC specification. DAIS uses SESAME (CSI-ECMA) as it’s security mechanism. This brings a rich set of features to the DAIS Security service implementation, including the use of roles and support for both public/private and secret key technologies. In addition, DAIS Security provides a full GUI administration tool, which allows the administrator to manage principals, roles, trust relationships, domains, required rights, invocation policies, etc. The GUI is written in Java and is distributed – using DAIS Security itself to secure the communications. This provides much more functionality than what is defined in the CORBASEC specification. DAIS Security also provides an integrated, offline public key certificate management system, which also has a secure distributed Java GUI. DAIS Security also offers a SecurityLevel2 programming interface to security aware applications, currently in C++ only.
