Non-repudiable distributed security policy synchronization

摘要

A system and method for providing distribution security measures in a distributed computer network environment. For consistency and ease of administration purposes, in a distributed computer network environment a security policy server can be used to maintain the global security policy of the environment. This server would need to distribute local security policies founded on the global policy to managed clients. The present invention provides a higher level of distribution security by utilizing robust cryptographic material in the distribution mechanism.
