The Plug-in Explained

The FreeSSL plug-in operates by running the IIOP protocol over an encrypted SSL channel. Applications can be SSL-enabled through the addition of a few simple API calls. Furthermore, your applications can use any combination of secure and insecure connections, all under the complete control of the developer.

Identity

Without an identity model, it is not possible to provide authentication or non-repudiation, both essential features of any modern e-commerce application. By leveraging the standard CORBA™ policy framework, the FreeSSL plug-in provides an intuitive and powerful identity model. Client and server applications can alter their identity depending on the situation simply by changing the policies that apply to the object reference.

Trust

Trust decision is an essential part of any secure application. FreeSSL allows total flexibility and freedom in determination of trust by providing the ability to tailor the trust decision rules to your enterprise.
