Abstract
A system separately designates security requirements for each of a plurality of methods invoked on a server. The system includes a security class library and an execution unit. The security class library stores a plurality of security objects that correspond to the plurality of methods. Each of the security objects stores the security requirements for the corresponding method. The execution unit receives from a client a method invocation request that includes security requirements of the client. From the request, the execution unit identifies one of the security objects in the security class library that corresponds to the requested method, and determines whether to invoke the requested method based on a comparison of the client security requirements and the security requirements stored in the security object.
