iWay Service Manager (iSM) is designed to service secure
message traffic.
Key Features and Advantages
Key features and advantages that are
provided through security handling within the iSM framework include:
- Message acquisition
and disposition using standards-based message protocols and security
standards, such as SSL/TLS enabled HTTP, AS/2, S/FTP, and FTP/S.
- Identification and
rejection of spurious messages including DOS-type attacks.
- Standards-based cryptography
to process secure messages such as S/MIME messages.
- XML Digital Signature
for non-repudiation of messages.
- Authentication and
authorization for connection and access to secure services within
the server.
- Policy-based protected
configuration, which prevents tampering or unauthorized changes
to system components and their use during message processing.
- Masking of stored
passwords.
- Security-related
functions in the iWay Functional Language.
The iWay Service Manager Security Guide discusses
each of these areas in terms of the security mechanisms being applied
and the ways in which these mechanisms fit into the use of the server.
