What is Embedding Security Policies Into a Distributed Computing Environment about?

This paper discusses the implementation of security policies in multipolicy systems. Multipolicy systems are systems supporting a multitude of security policies, each policy governing the applications within its own and precisely defined security domain.The paper argues that within multipolicy systems, traditional approaches for implementing security policies such as security kernels are both too weak and too strong. In order to support this thesis, we will discuss architectural issues of the implementation of policy separation, policy persistency, total mediation and putting off-the-shelf applications under the control of security policies. Whenever our statements are illustrated by examples, these examples are taken from a case study we implemented for the OSF Distributed Computing Environment.
