SEC14 — Interfaces are specified using wrong datatype in CORBASEC

Open Closed All
  • Key: SEC14-21

  • Summary:

    Summary: The CORBASecurity spec. uses three different datatypes for interfaces:

    InterfaceDef
    RepositoryID
    Identifier

    InterfaceDef should definitely NOT be used, as it can"t be resolved without
    reference to the
    Interface Repository, which would be a big performance penalty for cases where
    the interface"s
    name is simply being matched or used as a lookup key in a local table.

    Identifier is also the wrong type; it"s a generic string type and hence not
    type-safe with respect
    to interface names.
