Local Security API

Distributed computing technology is making it possible for information based organizations to realize long promised benefits. But the low degree of security standardization available from distributed and local computing environments inhibits this realization. This proposal is firmly directed toward solving the distributed problem by solving the local problem first. By creating a solid Local Security Application Program Interface (LS API), we create a basis which supports both the distributed object implementations and the definition of the distributed API itself. This API is partitioned into sections (miniature APIs), where each section is governed by frameworks and is implemented by modules. This project will produce Local Security API sections, a process to produce more sections, and a plan to realize the API sections from existing components.
