Systematic Security Checking on OSGi Bundles for Remote Healthcare System
Jinsoo Hwang, Kichang Kim · Advanced science and technology letters · 2015
OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) is now emerging as a promising software environment for remote healthcare systems. OSGi allows dynamic program loading and incremental update resulting in a very flexible system which is essential for remote healthcare system where constant program updating is needed. This flexibility however requires a very sensitive security solution instead since remote malware can also be injected through the same mechanism. This paper proposes a technique to check the security of external bundle, the program loaded dynamically. The paper shows the details of the technique and proves its validity.
