A survey of security middleware

TLDR: The paper briefly introduced the structure of security middleware system, and prospected some valuable applications and summarized and illustrated the hot spots in detail, including the implementation methods of parallel securitymiddleware and vulnerability monitoring middleware.

Abstract: Nowadays, with the awareness of information security, the security middleware technology is spread among an expanding number of people. On one hand, the security middleware can provide users with simple, understandable and safe information security technologies. On the other hand, it can exert positive effect on setting up a series of standardized and common interface for manufactures, so that the products from different vendors can be used compatibly. The paper firstly briefly introduced the structure of security middleware system, and on this basis, prospected some valuable applications. In addition, summarized and illustrated the hot spots in detail, including the implementation methods of parallel security middleware and vulnerability monitoring middleware. Finally, according to these significant applications, proposed some meaningful prospects related to research directions.
