We are pleased to announce the public release of the Absent, secure
remote access system.
A description, the paper, and the code are available at
http://www.research.att.com/projects/absent
Absent is a system for secure remote access to the internal web from
outside. It addresses the problem of secure remote access to a site's
internal web server from outside the firewall. The goal is to give
authorized users access to sensitive information, while protecting the
information from
others. We implemented our solution using a one-time password scheme for
client authentication and SSL for confidentiality. Our main design
considerations were security, performance, ease of use, vailability,
and scale. We were further constrained by the desire to leave our
firewall and local
infrastructure unchanged.
