System Security Services
The System Security Services layer is the appropriate
architectural layer for defining and implementing
sophisticated security protocols, based on the security
services of the CSSM and its add-in modules. These services
and protocols may include:
-
Secure and private file systems (such as PFP secured files)
-
Protocols for secure electronic commerce (such as JEPI and SET)
-
Protocols for private communication (such as SHTTP, SSL,
PGP, and S/MIME)
-
Multi-language access to the CSSM API (such as J-CDSAAPI)
-
CSSM management tools (such as a CSSM installation and
configuration tool)
-
High-level APIs that abstract a subset of CSSM APIs for use in a
specific application domain, providing simplified, default behavior.
