Role Based Access Control and the JXTA Peer-to-Peer Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Role based access control (RBAC) allows users access to resources based on their competencies and responsibilities within an organization. Typically, RBAC is provided as a security mechanism for a single host at the operating system level. This allows the operating system to ensure that authenticated users have access to resources based on their assigned roles. RBAC is more challenging in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, due to the lack of centralized administration. In this paper we discuss RBAC over a P2P network and we present an RBAC implementation in the JXTA P2P framework. JXTA is a popular open P2P technology specification.

JXTA resource access control by means of advertisement encryption
JXTA is an open-source initiative that provides a middleware for the creation and deployment of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. Resources in a JXTA network are accessed through advertisements, special metadata documents published by its owner. By controlling access to advertisements, it is also possible to restrict access to resources. However, in an overlay multihop network, the final recipie...
متن کاملScalable Video Coding Based Video Streaming on JXTA Peer-to-Peer Network
Video streaming through peer-to-peer (P2P) networks using scalable video coding (SVC) has been an active research. In this way, we propose to design and implement such solution by using a JXTA peer-to-peer framework to share and stream scalable videos. This new architecture use jointly the scalable video coding H.264/SVC and JXTA P2P network in term of video streaming especially Video-On-Demand...
متن کاملExploiting peer group concept for adaptive and highly available services
This paper presents a prototype for redundant, highly available and fault tolerant peer to peer framework for data management. Peer to peer computing is gaining importance due to its flexible organization, lack of central authority, distribution of functionality to participating nodes and ability to utilize unused computational resources. Emergence of GRID computing has provided much needed inf...
متن کاملFramework for Peer-to-Peer Distributed Computing in a Heterogeneous, Decentralized Environment
This paper presents a framework for large-scale computations for problems that feature coarse-grained parallelization. The components of this framework are based on Java, which allows for a wide variety of platforms and components, and peer-to-peer communication is provided through the JXTA protocols, which allow for a dynamic and decentralized organization of computational resources.
متن کاملJuxMem: An Adaptive Supportive Platform for Data Sharing on the Grid
We address the challenge of managing large amounts of numerical data within computing grids consisting of a federation of clusters. We claim that storing, accessing, updating and sharing such data should be considered by applications as an external service. We propose a hierarchical architecture for this service, based on a peer-to-peer approach. This architecture is illustrated through a softw...
