Assignment Specifications
Security Risk:The largest security risk with out project 3 is that anyone can register a service from any machine and call that service whatever they want. So if there was a "Credit Card Check" service to be sure a submitted credit card number was valid, an outside party could register another service called "Credit Card Check" with our naming service, and have our credit card orders sent to them.

Possible Solution:One possible solution to this problem would be to keep a list of "Safe" IP addresses, so that only machines on that list would be able to register services. |
