Principles of Security

You can use Rhapsody for a wide variety of applications on a range of platforms. For some applications, security is a critical consideration, for example the transmission of sensitive data such as Patient Healthcare Information. There are three primary aspects to security within a Rhapsody environment: 

• Securing access to administration, monitoring and development of the Rhapsody Engine. 
• Securing communications between Rhapsody and external systems in a configured deployment.
• Security hardening of the environment Rhapsody is deployed in. 

To protect its resources, Rhapsody provides the following security services:

• Identification and Authentication
• Access Control
• Confidentiality
• Data Integrity
• Non-repudiation

When you are planning a Rhapsody implementation, you need to consider which security services and mechanisms you require.
