XACML 1.0 Implementation Extends "Boundaries of Trust" for e-business
With the ratification of XACML by the OASIS Standards consortium, the
world of e-business breathed a sigh of relief. XACML (eXtensible Access
Control Markup Language) is the newest standard in encoded data exchange. It
makes possible a simple, flexible way to express and enforce access control
policies in a variety of environments using a single language. A new,
open-source implementation of the standard, Sun Microsystems Laboratories'
Java(TM)-based XACML 1.0 implementation is downloadable now and attracting
the interested cooperation of the developer community.

Trump Card - Nothing Beats Sun Labs' "Ace" Technology for Fast Development of Flexible, High-Performance, Enterprise Applications
Enterprise application development today is still characterized by frustration. Programmers feel it as
they struggle to create dynamic applications using manual coding tools. IT managers feel it when senior
executives suddenly change the core requirements of a software project that has been in the works for
months. And executives feel it when they see the company miss a key business opportunity because the IT
department couldn't build the needed software in the required time frame..

All IP Wireless, All the Time
Engineers at Sun Microsystems
Laboratories are building wireless technologies that promise to
integrate voice and web data in an IP-based mobile
communications system known as the Fourth Generation (4G)
wireless network. They are also bringing their expertise to
standards bodies to make sure that 4G protocols are based on
open system solutions. The challenges are considerable, but so
is the payoff. It's the difference between truly mobile, versus
merely portable, computing.

Sun Labs: Ten Years of Impact
Sun Microsystems Laboratories has a corporate mandate to search for the undiscovered. We look for novel
approaches and methodologies. And we take on the projects that product groups can't, such as ideas that won't
be practical for years, projects with high risk or uncertainty, or concepts outside the mainstream of Sun's current
focus. Even though our research may push the boundaries of what is possible, we work hard to keep our
development focused on what is practical and profitable

Beating the Clock
At the ASYNC 2001 conference, Sun Microsystems Laboratories described
FLEETzero, a prototype chip with raw speed roughly twice that of today's chips.
Where today's chips use "synchronous" circuits with a global clock to manage
activity, the new, faster FLEETzero chip uses radical new circuits with low-power,
asynchronous logic elements that produce timing signals only where and when
needed.

Staying in Touch - Awareness for Remote Workers
As workplace and worker go mobile, remote, and virtual,
simple things often get difficult. How do geographically scattered
teams and colleagues on the go work closely, getting in touch when they need to?
Sun Microsystems Laboratories is prototyping a device-aware application
that allows workgroup members to reach one another instantly, no matter where they
are or on which computer or device they are active.

Crypto-Politics: Decoding the New Encryption Standard
This fall the Department of Commerce announced its choice for the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): the Rijndael algorithm (pronounced
"Rhine doll" and named for its Belgium creators Vincent Rijmen and Joan
Daemen). The first-of-its-kind international competition for the
proposed new Federal Information Processing Standard included 15 entries
by leading cryptographers from 12 countries. Sun Microsystems' Whitfield
Diffie and Susan Landau, renowned authors and encryption experts,
provide exclusive commentary on the AES, the political victory it
represents, and why it heralds a new era in cryptography. They also
discuss the government's new willingness to allow the export of strong
encryption and the FBI's Internet surveillance program, Carnivore.
