Transparent Security for Collaborative Environments

Original language description

Current collaborative tools are often not able to profit from existing systems for user management. It is therefore necessary for collaborative systems to administrate their users using their own solutions, which may not be adequate in terms of scalability or security. Many users may also experience problems working with authentication credentials (e.g. digital certificates) employed by collaborative systems. In this paper, we propose a general framework to provide easy-to-use yet secure access to collaborative systems, which offers a general middleware layer to accommodate various types of collaborative tools. The framework utilizes the emerging model of federations, which allows to provide a user-friendly means of logging in to a collaborative systemas well as a solid basis for specifying access control policies. The framework handles all security aspects in a transparent way without requiring the users to perform complicated tasks. Using user attributes maintained in the federation

Transparentní bezpečnost pro kolaborativní prostředí

Czech description

Současné kolaborativní nástroje nejsou schopny využít možnosti existujících systémů pro správu uživatelů. Je proto nutné, aby kolaborativní systémy implementovaly správu uživatelů vlastními prostředky, což zpravidla omezuje škálovatelnost a bezpečnost. Vpříspěvku představujeme obecnou infrastrukturu, která nabízí snadnou a bezpečnou správu uživatelů, která je založena na federativních systémech.
