GSi Compliant RAS for Public Private Sector Partnership

Abstract

With the current trend of moving intelligent services and administration towards the public private partnership, and the security controls that are currently in place, the shareable data modeling initiative has become a controversial issue. Existing applications often rely on isolation or trusted networks for their access control or security, whereas untrusted wide area networks pay little attention to the authenticity, integrity or confidentiality of the data they transport. In this paper, we examine the issues that must be considered when providing network access to an existing probation service environment. We describe how we intend to implement the proposed solution in one probation service application. We describe the architecture that allows remote access to the legacy application, providing it with encrypted communications and strongly authenticated access control but without requiring any modifications to the underlying application.
