Overview: This paper compares SSL and SESAME by discussing: what security services they provide, what cryptographic technology is used by each solution, the applications supported, where they fit in the TCP/IP model, availability and finally a description of their limitations. The objective is to compare these security technologies with a view to using them for Intranet security solutions. This paper concludes that SSL is a strong security solution for some Internet applications, however essential services such as authorisation are missing from SSL and an application level architecture such as SESAME is highly desirable. It also concludes that SESAME provides a level of services well above that of SSL and thereby greatly assists an organisation in the efficient management of its IT security.
