520 _aThis book outlines and describes the impact of the latest trends in distributed systems on security threats, and solutions addressing these threats; with an exhaustive overview of the underlying theoretical underpinnings of security technologies, along with an in-depth coverage of the existing and upcoming security threats and vulnerabilities across different layers of a modern day distributed systems architecture. The book also looks at how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to proactively meet the dynamic and evolving needs of security for the next-generation distributed systems of tomorrow. The book also discusses the applications of the technologies and solutions discussed, providing case studies of real distributed systems that the authors have been involved in architecting, developing and running to meet very stringent reliability and security requirements.
520 _aDistributed Systems Security provides a holistic insight into current security issues, processes, and solutions, and maps out future directions in the context of today’s distributed systems. This insight is elucidated by modeling of modern day distributed systems using a four-tier logical model –host layer, infrastructure layer, application layer, and service layer (bottom to top). The authors provide an in-depth coverage of security threats and issues across these tiers. Additionally the authors describe the approaches required for efficient security engineering, alongside exploring how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to proactively meet the dynamic needs of security for the next-generation distributed systems. The practical issues thereof are reinforced via practical case studies.
