Oracle7 Server Distributed Systems Volume I: Distributed Data
CHAPTER 6. Security Issues
Networked systems are at greater risk than closed systems and require even greater attention to security issues. This chapter covers database security issues in a distributed system. The following topics are covered:
- Oracle Secure Network Services
- security through authentication methods
For more detailed information on how network security is implemented using authentication services such as Kerberos (V5), see Secure Network Services Administrator's Guide, Understanding SQL*Net and the Oracle7 Server Administrator's Guide. See the Oracle Network Manager Administrator's Guide for information on configuring Secure Network Services' encryption and authentication services.
