Securing
B2B Advanced Communications provides a multi-layer approach to securing messages and other data.
The security management functions include these commonly accepted aspects of security:
- Identification and authentication
- Identification is the ability to identify uniquely a user of a system or an application that is running in the system. Authentication is the ability to prove that a user or application is genuinely who that person or what that application claims to be.
- Authorization
- Authorization protects critical resources in a system by limiting access only to authorized users and their applications. It prevents the unauthorized use of a resource or the use of a resource in an unauthorized manner.
- Confidentiality
- The confidentiality mechanisms protect sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure.
- Data integrity and nonrepudiation
- The data integrity and nonrepudiation mechanisms detect whether unauthorized modification of data occurred.
