Securing VO Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a security architecture and mechanism for Virtual Organizations (VO) for businesses. The VOs we consider are based on web service technology to address interoperability issues and cater for future business software, and are dynamic, i.e. their membership may change frequently throughout their lifetime. We improve over previous approaches in the following aspect: We have designed, implemented and evaluated a comprehensive security mechanism for our architecture that can protect both the web services in the VO and the VO management services. The security policies of VO management are enforced by inspecting the request for the encodings of parameters that are relevant to the policy decision. The basic idea may be applicable to other web service based software with data-dependent security policies, e.g. databases.

Security architecture for virtual organizations of business web services
Virtual Organizations (VO) temporarily aggregate resources of different domains to achieve a common goal. Web services are being positioned as the technological framework for achieving this aggregation in the context of cross-organizational business applications. Numerous architectures have been proposed for securing VOs, mostly for scientific research, such that they do not address all the req...
متن کاملFormal Reference Ontology for Securing Data Objects to Support Semantic Web Services (SWS)
Semantic Web Services (SWS) utilize powerful semantic technologies to search, acquire and package services that are machine understandable. However, the true potential of SWS can only be realized if transacted data objects are secure,confidential and reliable. Thus, a meta model for security policies and frameworks for SLAs (Service Level Agreements) has to be in place to offer reliable SWS to ...

متن کاملVirtual organization management eServices
This demonstration concentrates on eServices (supporting electronic services) for Virtual Organization (VO) management support. The eServices are provided by the VOM toolkit (a suite of VO management tools), which was developed to support the VO manager in managing the VO throughout its life-cycle. In this demo the eServices related to all phases of the VO life-cycle are demonstrated together w...
