Zusammenfassung

Since the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification 1.0 has been released in spring 1998, a great interest has been shown in this new technology. It is the first approach that defines a server-side component model for the Java platform. The EJB specification already has achieved a high grade of acceptance and will obtain an important role in the development of distributed applications in the future. Nevertheless, since EJB is a young technology it still has to struggle with several problems. One of these is security management. The issues concerning security that are covered by the specification are very basic. However, the distributed nature of EJB makes a sophisticated approach in regard to security indispensable. Due to this necessity, a flexible security architecture for the EJB framework is proposed within this work.
