  2. Situation: major organizations are using Firebird for non business-critical applications • Military and special services • Worldwide trend is to integrate military projects with civil products and services • Public sector • Policies to prefer Open Source products in many countries. Open development process requirements for critical infrastructure projects. • Enterprises • Large enterprises tend to fall under strict procurement rules similar to public sector

  3. Policies appear to be very favorable towards Open Source products in organizations. What formal criteria prevents Firebird from being used to build Tier 1 (business critical) applications?

  4. Procurement rules • Technical requirements • Security regulations compliance requirements • Service level requirements • On-site support for closed-circuit applications • Response time requirements • Organizational requirements • Manufacturer Authorization Forms • Warranties • Cross-certification

  5. Security regulations • General standards • ISO/IEC 17799 (27002) – Code of practice for information security management • ISO/IEC 15408 – CC/Evaluation Criteria for IT Security • Sector regulations • Basel II • Sarbanes-Oxley • Regional standards

  7. What needs to be done in Firebird to provide underlying security infrastructure for business-critical applications?

  8. Recommendations from the joint team of Red Soft and RNT security experts (Stage 1) • Implement modern role-based access control (RBAC) approach • Upgrade Firebird security core from using traditional Discretionary Access Control (DAC) methodology to RBAC • Improve authentication • Engine and metadata and data integrity checking

  9. Comprehensive fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC) • DDL • DML • Services • Records and blobs • System catalog

  10. Authentication improvements • Multi-factor authentication • Certificates • Bio-metric • Crypto hardware • Support for integration with applications and SSO infrastructure

  11. Integrity checking • Signed binaries and configuration files • Signed metadata and pieces of data • Hardware-assisted integrity protection • Support for trusted computing methodology

  12. Stage 2 improvements • Implement Mandatory Access Control approach on top of RBAC engine • More cryptographic protection • Encrypted databases • Encrypted backups • Encrypted fields in tables • Control over administrator actions from security administrator

  13. Red Soft is looking for partners in the field of security compliance • Alignment of implemented functionality with European regulations • Roll-out of secure applications • Certification partners
