Role-Based Access Control for CORBA Distributed Object Systems

This paper shows how role-based access control (RBAC) models can be implemented in distributed object-based systems that follow OMG/CORBA standards. We introduce a novel approach that provides for automatic role activation by the security components of the middleware, which brings role-based access control to security-unaware applications. Key words: security, access control, RBAC, CORBA
