Overview:

Both Java RMI and Jini use a proxy-based architecture. In this paper, a client interacts with a service through a proxy, which is code downloaded from a directory and installed on the client's machine. An attacker who controls the communication channels or the directory may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the client and of the service. This paper presents a security architecture that protects both clients and services in distributed proxy-based computing. In this paper, the service registers a signed authentication proxy with the directory. The client, after downloading a signed authentication proxy from the directory, verifies the signature on the proxy, authenticates itself to the service through the proxy, and receives a dedicated session proxy for the service over a secure channel.
