  • Method and system for enforcing network security by preserving event execution information utilizing a service event stack
    Patent number: 7694344
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for enhancing network security by using a service entry stack in a distributed computer network. After an event system receives an indication for a publisher to publish a first event to a subscriber list of one or more event subscribers, authorization concerns are examined for publishing the first event to each event subscriber by sequentially examining each event subscriber in the subscriber list. When publishing the first event to the event subscriber, a service entry stack is utilized for recording event execution information and process hierarchy of the distributed computer network so that such information can be used for enhancing the security of the distributed computer network.
