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) and make
- 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
- JDT enhancements
- Show the signer information/configuration of 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
- clear support for launching with a security manager (ie: a checkbox in the launch config)
- ability to run an exploded jar as if it was a signed and packaged jar
- Plug KeyStore instances into the platform for use during code signing (and someday other - e.g.: mail signing) operations
- Handle keystore file types (*.keystore,*.jks,*.jceks,*.p12 etc) in project filesystems
