Sure, you know this, I know this and probably many more. I know you've probably read this many times on every social media platform inside the "infosec bubble" and I'm tired of reading it too, but security shouldn't be in the users way. I'm sure you're a great individual, but unfortunately not everybody is as tech savy as you.
#JOINME COM SECURITY MANUAL#
You're reading a blogpost after all, not the manual of something. Though I want to mention, that they give my blogposts a personal spin to it and since most people (yeah, I mean you) reading these blogposts are infosec professionals anyways and are bored to death by all the "regular" blogposts, I thought this style of writing could perhaps be a little refreshing.
It also may be, that I do it unconsciously, but I try my best to avoid this. So please forgive me, if it seems like I'm not being too technically accurate at some points.Īlso it may seem, that I tend to drift off from the given topic in a certain context, usually this is to introduce a concept that is known to most people in order to explain the "main topic" in that context. I try my best to be technically accurate in these blogposts, while also not going into every little detail and/or overcomplicating things. Despite the title saying security and I'm mainly going to focus on security in this blogpost, I also mention "projects" that may be security & privacy related or even mainly privacy related and security is either necessary for these "project" applications and/or an afterthought or something alike. Let's get into it, shall we? Preface, Disclaimer & Warnings Or at least for you to ask yourself, if it should be measured that way.
#JOINME COM SECURITY SOFTWARE#
Today we'll be diving into multiple "security" related questions, topics, even reasoning methods about security and I'm going to tell you why I think, that the security of something shouldn't just be measured on how hardened a system or software is, how many security features it has etc. Two primary interfaces, IClientSecurity and IServerSecurity (and associated helper functions), allow you to set call-level security within your program.Quite a lurid title, but what gives? Some very smartass infosec people might yell heresy, but let me explain. You can set security processwide, either by using Dcomcnfg.exe to set the registry or by calling CoInitializeSecurity. For most applications, setting an acceptable level of security can be a painless process, but you can also use COM security to support very complex security scenarios. Using COM security, you can implement objects that can perform privileged operations without compromising security.īecause there is a wide range of COM security features available, it is helpful to initially determine what kind of security your application needs. It also includes features such as delegate-level impersonation, mutual authentication, the ability to set authentication levels for an AppID in the registry, and cloaking. The system implements the Kerberos v5 authentication protocol and the Schannel security package. In this security model, servers manage and help protect objects, clients get access to objects through servers, and servers can attempt access while impersonating the client. After a server has been launched, you can use call security to control access to a server's objects. Activation security determines whether a client can launch a server at all.
There are two main types of security in COM: activation security and call security. COM security relies on authentication (the process of verifying a caller's identity) and authorization (the process of determining whether a caller is authorized to do what it is asking to do).
#JOINME COM SECURITY WINDOWS#
Security in COM is firmly based on the security provided by Windows and the underlying RPC security mechanisms.
