Equinox Security

Security is an important concern for applications written on top of Equinox and the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. Spanning areas such as protection of sensitive user data, authentication of platform users and authorization of bundle code, Eclipse has a growing list of features to support important security related use cases. In this session, we will cover the new enhancements related to security in the Ganymede release of Eclipse and Equinox. In particular, we will discuss the following new features:

• Secure storage – protecting sensitive data (e.g. passwords) using encryption
• Trusted Bundles – denying the loading of bundles based on signer information
• Login Framework – integrating authentication of users based on JAAS

The format of the webinar will be a presentation plus some live demos, and will be similar in nature to those presented at the security-related EclipseCon sessions in March. Attendees should be familiar with the fundamentals of Java security and with the core concepts of Eclipse RCP and the Equinox framework. .
