4.1.14 Is it completely true that the CORBA Security service is a direct lift of DCE Security?

 

Rajan Gupta (February, 1998): It is correct. In summary, CORBA security is Object Based Security Model while DCE security is more procedural.

Andreas Vogel (February, 1998): Essentially, the CORBA security service defines a framework and interfaces in which you can plug in security mechanisms of your choice. DCE has defined a set of mechanisms (one for each security concern) upfront.
