Abstract
Distributed computing is receiving an ever increasing amount of interest and with it come many challenges, not the least of which is how to maintain system and network security. Issues relating to user authentication, access authorization, and communication security must be addressed when multiple, heterogeneous systems are connected. While these issues have been addressed in OSFs DCE, several problems remain. This paper describes some of these problems.
