Abstract
A vault controller manages resources in a secure environment or vault dedicated to an authorized user(s) for conducting electronic business in a distributed information system, e.g., the Internet. The controller includes a web server and a supervisor in a shared object library which runs as part of an HTTP daemon. The supervisor runs as a multi-threaded process and includes multiple service supervisor (SS) threads; a communication supervisor (CS) thread; a request supervisor (RS) thread; state and data tables and a vault daemon to support launching secure processes mapped to users through digital certificates included in user requests to the controller.
