Adiron Services

Secure Your Future

Adiron uses middleware products from vendors of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), which is a standard of the Object Management Group, Inc. (OMG). This middleware standard facilitates the creation of standard component based solutions.

It is a wonderfully exciting time in the field of distributed object middleware development. With CORBA based solutions you can get such capabilities as interoperation between heterogeneous platforms (Sun, HP, IBM, Unix, Linux, WinNT/95/98), integration of legacy systems with new technology, and transparency of service location.

Benefits of CORBA

Employing CORBA not only gives you all the great benefits of the distributed object paradigm, but gives you a major feature of a distributed security framework.

In traditional two tier client-server designs, if security was an issue, security policy had to be built directly into the client and server applications. If an organization's security policy changed, the application may have to go through a costly retooling, even if its basic functionality did not change.

With implementations of the CORBA security specification and Adiron's special handling of the management of CORBA security (in planned future products), components may be separated from the security policy. Both component functionality and security policy are separated so that the security policy may be changed, but the application does not have to be retooled. This presents a major cost benefit to your organization.

Migration to CORBA

Adiron can help you bring your existing system into the world of distributed object computing using Object Request Brokers. Adiron can help you wrap legacy systems, such as databases, with CORBA object interfaces and deploy them onto the network. Adiron can also help you design brand new distributed applications.

Security Infrastructure

Adiron can realize you security enabled distributed system with several internal tools and products. These tools and products (currently in development) allow us to define your security policy and enforce it.

Adiron is currently developing infrastructure components to give you a security enhanced system. Such tools are:

Security Policy Modeling and Composition Tool
Security Policy Development Kit
Security Policy Server
Security Privilege Server

Custom Security Integration

Adiron can design and help you implement your system using our security tools and components to enhance your system or applications with CORBA and its security capability.

Security Policy

Adiron can investigate your distributed system security needs and write the specific security policies to help you on the way to a more secure system.
