A Critical Review of the Resource Access Decision Specification in CORBA

This article critically analyzes access control in CORBA applications that is based on the OMG's Resource Access Decision Facility specification. After a short presentation of the RAD Facility, we discuss its strengths and weaknesses and describe shortcomings of the current version of the specification. Finally, possible reasons for the industry's reluctance to accept this approach are presented.
