Security Techniques in Distributed Systems

Abstract

The security of information systems is the most important principle that can also be said that the most difficult, because security must be maintained throughout the system. At the beginning of this article we are going to introduce basic principles of security. The securities of distributed systems are divided into two parts: A portion of the communication between users and processes is concerned with examining issues such as authentication, message integrity and encryption will be discussed. In the next section, we will examine the guaranteed access permissions to resources in distributed systems. In addition to traditional access solutions, access control in mobile codes will be examined.

Security in Distributed System: A Review Perspective

“…This section presents the reviewed work on distributed system security issues. In taking a more detailed view of the two parts [19], namely:…”

“…istributed System (DS) is one of the advancements made in communication technology, in which access to information resources is independent of the host. In other words, it is a system of interoperable resources (hardware and software) among heterogeneous hosting devices or environments [2,19]. This definition suggests that DS could be a set of configurable hardware, forming networked environment, a software system, or a combination of hardware and software system [10,11].…”
