DisCo: Middleware for Securely Deploying Decomposable Services in Partly Trusted Environments
Main Page


Multiple mechanisms are currently available that provide partial solutions to the challenge of security in such distributed systems and generally do not inter-operate well. In contrast, the DisCo framework provides a composable and extensible set of primitives that express access rights, facilitate secure inter-component communications, enable component deployment, and provide locality-aware wervice discovery. In addition, mechanisms are provided to detect and respond to loss of authorization and connectivity.

This website describes, in detail, the DisCo infrastructure. Please send any questions you may have concerning DisCo to Eric Freudenthal.
