Some security issues for web based frameworks
This report investigates whether a vulnerability found in one web framework may be used to find a vulnerability in a different web framework. To test this hypothesis, several open source applications were installed in a secure test environment together with security analysis tools. Each one of the applications were developed using a different software framework. The results show that a vulnerability identified in one framework can often be used to find similar vulnerabilities in other frameworks. Crosssite scripting security issues are the most likely to succeed when being applied to more than one framework
My private cloud--granting federated access to cloud resources
We describe the research undertaken in the six month JISC/EPSRC funded My Private Cloud project, in which we built a demonstration cloud file storage service that allows users to login to it, by using their existing credentials from a configured trusted identity provider. Once authenticated, users are shown a set of accounts that they are the owners of, based on their identity attributes. Once users open one of their accounts, they can upload and download files to it. Not only that, but they can then grant access to their file resources to anyone else in the federated system, regardless of whether their chosen delegate has used the cloud service before or not. The system uses standard identity management protocols, attribute based access controls, and a delegation service. A set of APIs have been defined for the authentication, authorisation and delegation processes, and the software has been released as open source to the community. A public demonstration of the system is available online
Authorization Framework for the Internet-of-Things
This paper describes a framework that allows fine-grained
and flexible access control to connected devices with very
limited processing power and memory.
We propose a set of security and performance requirements
for this setting and derive an authorization framework distributing
processing costs between constrained devices and less constrained back-end servers while keeping message exchanges
with the constrained devices at a minimum.
As a proof of concept we present performance results from
a prototype implementing the device part of the framework
