[edit] Overview
The Starfish system aims to provide intrusion detection and intrusion tolerance for middleware applications operating in an asynchronous distributed system. Traditionally, performance, fault tolerance and security have been mutually exclusive, with various systems choosing to focus on one area while making trade-offs in the others. Starfish hopes to provide the best possible combination of these elements by offering three distinct regions of operation based on the anatomy of a starfish. The system contains a central, highly secure and tightly coupled "body." This body is augmented by "arms" that are less tightly coupled and that have less stringent security guarantees, each of which can be removed from the body if a significant security breach occurs. New arms can be "grown" as needed. Residing between the body and arms are "shoulders" that have intermediate guarantees.
