A security model for distributed computing

Iliya Georgiev, Ivo Georgiev · 2001

This paper presents a multi-tier model for secure computing as a teaching method platform. The security model is based on establishing the trustworthiness and role of each component in a distributed computing environment: trusted users, trusted servers, trusted administrators, untrusted client, untrusted communication media and intermediate systems, etc. The model provides a basis for teaching and for program system design. The security dimensions (both social and technical) can be considered in computer science curriculum in general. The model as a teaching method was experimented in some senior student software projects.
