ABSTRACT
This document describes a specification of security services for distributed
applications in the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) Common
Operating Environment (COE). Security services include identification
and authentication, encryption, access control, and auditing. The security
services are referred to as the COE security services Application Programming
Interface (COE SS API). The COE SS API is part of a framework that is
referred to as the Security Services Application Framework (SSAF). The
SSAF framework is an adaptation of the Open Group Common Data Security
Architecture (CDSA).
The document includes a high-level description of the COE SS API, a
formal Java-based specification, a mapping from the specification to
the C and Java programming languages, and sample applications to demonstrate
how the COE SS API can be used.
