Security: Requirements
Document for collecting Security requirements
Requirements
- Support plugging JCA/JCE classes into the platform dynamically via services or extensions
- Use Java-standard APIs like KeyStore, CertStore, etc. where appropriate for Key management
- Support login to the platform
- Run with a fully-integrated SecurityManager
- Define domain specific Permissions for eclipse concepts (e.g. ViewPermission, ActionPermission)
- Find a way to run non trusted plug-ins in a sandbox
- Make EMF generated code secure: define model specific permissions and use them in the generated code
- Platform UI enhancements
- Plug KeyStore instances into the platform for use during code signing (and someday other - e.g.: mail signing) operations
- Prompt for passwords for KeyStores and their aliases when used
- User interface for managing KeyStores for code signing trust (cacerts, user's .keystore, etc)
- User interface for managing permissions granted to bundle signers
- JDT UI enhancements
- Show the signer information/configuration of classes in jars and projects
- Configure a project to be signed after compile using a system KeyStore or a project specific KeyStore
- Manually cause signing to occur from project context menu
- Simple support for launching with a security manager (ie: a checkbox in the launch config)
- Ability to run a workspace project as if it was a signed and packaged jar
- Handle keystore file types (*.keystore,*.jks,*.jceks,*.p12 etc) in project filesystems
- Scan the Eclipse RCP codebase and ensure that doPrivileged blocks are inserted in appropriate places
- Run a code scan with each build, and post results in the same location as JUNIT results
