CORISECIO - SOA - Security Infrastructure - Architecture

Security Broker

The Security Broker is the central administration engine and primarily takes over Policy Administration tasks. The Security Broker is the management component of all securityRunTime components. The Security Broker offers Management Services for the administration, the modeling as well as the Policy Generation.

Here the Security Rules are created and distributed to all connected systems. The Security Rules exist locally on the systems, whereby a permanent connection to the server is not necessary. Accordingly no Single Point of Failure is produced, so that all systems stay completely executable even at a breakdown of the Security Broker engine or its network connection.

Besides the administration functionality the Security Broker also acts as a Service Provider. Each functionality is available as Service in the Security Broker and may be called up via a Web Service Request.

Supported Platforms:

□ Apache Tomcat 5.5
□ JBOSS
□ SAP WebAS
□ IBM Websphere (optional) 

Security Repository
All data of the Security Broker are kept in an own Security Repository. Basically the Repository consists of a relational database, where all sensitive data is stored encrypted and signed. So the data is protected against unauthorized access and manipulation. Companies may optionally run the BSF with own databases without having to install new systems.

Supported database systems:

□ MySQL
□ Oracle
□ IBM DB2

Security Administration RCP (Rich Client Platform)
Configuration and control of the Security Brokers is done via decentralized available administration surface e. g. the Security Administration (RCP). All functions and services implemented in the Security Broker may be administrated via a central location.

Supported platforms:

□ Java/Eclipse compatible systems
□ Microsoft Windows XP/2000
□ Linux distributions (on request)

Security Connector
The Security Connectors realize the Security Rules on the systems. Equipped with Security and Automation components of the SAM Foundation, the connectors are able to process Security Rules and offer accordant Services via the Security Service Bus.

Supported platforms:

□ Apache Tomcat 5.5
□ JBOSS
□ SAP WebAS
