Presentation: "Addressing Tomorrow's Security Requirements in Enterprise"
Time:
Monday 10:20 - 11:05
Location:
Bayside 203
Abstract: The enterprise application security landscape is rapidly shifting.
Today?s enterprise application security requirements increasingly
reflect an interconnected world of service-oriented architecture (SOA);
web services; component-based web frameworks; and sophisticated rich
client types, including Web 2.0. Beyond these technology evolutions, new
business requirements are emerging, including IP protection, single
sign-on, federated identity, and robust nonrepudiation models.
This session presents practical solutions for addressing today?s complex
enterprise security requirements. It takes attendees on a step-by-step
journey that starts with the simple security requirements of a login
form with web tier authorization and grows to include each of the
requirements specified above.
This is an intensely demonstration-oriented session. It gives you
practical, useful architectural advice and implementation tips, whether
you are building a Web 2.0 Google Web Toolkit (GWT) application, web
services endpoint, major batch application, or perhaps all three at once.
The session also introduces and demonstrates how to implement important
security standards, including Java? Authentication and Authorization
Service (JAAS), WS-Security (WSS), and RFC-defined Basic and Digest
authentication. Attendees will also learn how to use JSR 250 annotations
to provide objects with flexible, portable, and powerful authorization
capabilities. The demonstrations feature Spring Security, an open-source
security framework that builds upon the standards mentioned above and is
used in numerous banking, government, and military installations.
