Abstract

The ubiquitous service environment is poor in reliability of connection and also has a high probability that the intrusion against a system and the failure of the services may happen. Therefore, It is very important to guarantee that the legitimate users make use of trustable services from the viewpoint of security without discontinuance or obstacle of the services. In this paper, we point out the problems in the standard Jini service environment and analyze the Jgroup/ARM framework that has been developed in order to help fault tolerance of Jini services. In addition, we propose a secure Jini service architecture to satisfy the security, availability and quality of services on the basis of the analysis. The secure Jini service architecture we propose in this paper is able to protect a Jini system not only from faults such as network partition or server crash, but also from attacks exploiting flaws. It provides security mechanism for dynamic trust establishment among the service entities. Moreover, our secure Jini service architecture does not incur high computation costs to merge the user service states because of allocation of the replica based on each session of a user. Through the experiment on a test-bed, we have confirmed that proposed secure Jini service architecture is able to guarantee the persistence of the user service states at the level that the degradation of services quality is ignorable.
