SESAME (a Secure European System for Applications in a Multi-vendor Environment) is a European research and development project, part funded by the European Commission under its RACE program. It is also the name of the technology that came out of that project.
|
The SESAME technology offers sophisticated single sign-on with added distributed access control features and cryptographic protection of interchanged data.
|
SESAME is a construction kit. It is a set of security infrastructure components for product developers. It provides the underlying bedrock upon which full managed single sign-on products can be built.
|
Examples of such products are ICL's Access Manager and Bull SA's Integrated System Management AccessMaster (ISM AccessMaster).

Siemens (Software & Systems Engineering Ltd) is also using SESAME technology to improve its secure X.400 mail product set.
