CORBA Security provides a readable and less technical overview of the specification and a guide to the security of object systems. Written from a policy point of view, the book will help you decide what security policies are appropriate for your organization and evaluate the object-based security options that can help you manage those policies.

For those unfamiliar with basic security and object technology concepts, clear introductions to these topics will bring you up to speed. The book also provides a list of questions you can ask your secure object system vendor-questions that will get behind the jargon and acronyms and give you the information you need to determine just how safe the product really is.
