<p>The systems environments of today are often distributed and heterogeneous. These kind of systems have several advantages but also disadvantages. One problem is how to keep them secure.</p><p>The security problems in these environments are mainly due to the communication between the connected computers. It is relatively easy to tap these communication channels from information. There is also a need for the possibility to secure these channels from modification of sent information and to be able to verify the sender and receiver of information in a secure manner. The whole system's security is depending on the security of these channels which means protecting them is critical.</p><p>The Department of Computer Science (DCS) at Högskolan i Skövde, Sweden has a distributed and heterogeneous systems environment with insecure communication channels. This final year project has investigated this security problem at DCS and developed a method to implement secure communication channels.</p>
