What Programming Security Means

Programming security is the task of writing security code for Application-to-Transaction Monitor Interface (ATMI) applications. In addition to the code that expresses the logic of the program, application programmers use ATMI to link their application code with the BEA Tuxedo transaction monitor. The ATMI programming interfaces enable communication among application clients and servers running under the control of the BEA Tuxedo transaction monitor. C and COBOL implementations of the ATMI are available.

As shown in the following figure, application programmers have access to the ATMI functions for authenticating users and controlling user access, and for incorporating public key encryption techniques into their applications. Also shown is the absence, at the application level, of ATMI functions for auditing or link-level encryption. Auditing is accessed at the BEA Tuxedo system level, and link-level encryption is configured by the application administrator.
