ESAF - an Extensible Security Adaptation Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Extensible Security Adaptation Framework (ESAF) is designed to make configuration more flexible and avoid protocol-dependent application development. Among its features are the seamless integration of new protocols, exchangeability of corrupt protocols and utilization of the best protocol available for communication. This choice is based upon security policies specified by the administration, the user, and the applications. The security support is end-to-end and layer-independent. It also includes transport layer and quality of service requirements since the transport layer is transparent for applications using ESAF. High-level policies provide a fine-grained support for defining requirement levels. Requirements are therefore not binary, but scalar.

Abstract Communication is the grounding principle of nowadays complex applications where the functionalities of the overall system are much more powerful then the ones of the isolated components. The task of keeping the communication system operable is highly critical due to the configuration complexity and the need for manual administration. Autonomous configuration mechanisms offer a compelli...
متن کاملAndroid Security Framework: Enabling Generic and Extensible Access Control on Android
We introduce the Android Security Framework (ASF), a generic, extensible security framework for Android that enables the development and integration of a wide spectrum of security models in form of codebased security modules. The design of ASF reflects lessons learned from the literature on established security frameworks (such as Linux Security Modules or the BSD MAC Framework) and intertwines...
متن کاملEndothelial-cell-stimulating angiogenesis factor (ESAF) activates progelatinase A (72 kDa type IV collagenase), prostromelysin 1 and procollagenase and reactivates their complexes with tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases: a role for ESAF in non-inflammatory angiogenesis.
Endothelial-cell-stimulating angiogenesis factor (ESAF) has been shown to activate procollagenase and reactivate complexes of collagenase and gelatinase A with tissue inhibitor of metallo-proteinase (TIMP)-1. In the present paper we show a purification protocol for bovine pineal ESAF and that purified ESAF activates progelatinase A and prostromelysin-1. Unlike the activation of procollagenase b...
متن کاملAutomated support for the Design and Analysis of Security Protocols
This paper presents a user friendly formal specification language, called LS , for defining security properties. The language is intended for use in defining and specifying applications with security requirements in a unified framework. The longterm goal of the work is to establish the basic building blocks for an extensible language that can be used in practice, both in the context of standard...
متن کاملA Self-Protecting Security Framework for CDA Documents
Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is a standard for the exchange of electronic medical records. This paper describes a self-protecting security framework for protecting the security and privacy of CDA documents. The framework extends a CDA document with markups from XML based security standards including eXtensible Access Control Markup Language, XML Encryption, and XML Signature. This integ...
