Distributed Systems Security: Issues, Processes and Solutions (Hardcover)

Security is one of the leading concerns in developing dependable distributed systems of today, since the integration of different components in a distributed manner creates new security problems and issues. Service oriented architectures, the Web, grid computing and virtualization – form the backbone of today’s distributed systems. A lens to security issues in distributed systems is best provided via deeper exploration of security concerns and solutions in these technologies. 

Distributed 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.

Distributed Systems Security:

• Presents an overview of distributed systems security issues, including threats, trends, standards and solutions.
• Discusses threats and vulnerabilities in different layers namely the host, infrastructure, application, and service layer to provide a holistic and practical, contemporary view of enterprise architectures.
• Provides practical insights into developing current-day distributed systems security using realistic case studies.

This book will be of invaluable interest to software engineers, developers, network professionals and technical/enterprise architects working in the field of distributed systems security. Managers and CIOs, researchers and advanced students will also find this book insightful.

如何解決分散式系統中出現的安全問題和問題。

安全是當今可靠分散式系統開發中的主要關注點之一，因為以分散方式整合不同組件會產生新的安全問題和問題。服務導向架構、網絡、網格計算和虛擬化是當今分散式系統的基礎。通過深入探討這些技術中的安全問題和解決方案，可以更好地理解分散式系統中的安全問題。

《分散式系統安全》提供了對當前安全問題、流程和解決方案的整體洞察，並在當今分散式系統的背景下勾勒出未來的發展方向。通過使用四層邏輯模型（主機層、基礎設施層、應用層和服務層，從下到上）對現代分散式系統進行建模，可以更好地理解這一洞察。作者詳細介紹了這些層面上的安全威脅和問題。此外，作者還描述了有效的安全工程方法，並探討了如何利用現有解決方案來主動滿足下一代分散式系統安全的動態需求。通過實際案例研究來加強對實際問題的理解。

《分散式系統安全》包括以下內容：
- 概述分散式系統安全問題，包括威脅、趨勢、標準和解決方案。
- 討論主機、基礎設施、應用和服務層面的威脅和漏洞，以提供全面且實用的企業架構視角。
- 通過實際案例研究，提供開發當今分散式系統安全的實用見解。

這本書對於軟件工程師、開發人員、網絡專業人員和技術/企業架構師在分散式系統安全領域工作的人士非常有價值。管理人員、首席信息官、研究人員和高級學生也會發現這本書具有洞察力。
