Abstract :
We present an approach for secure delivery of multimodal services to end users over heterogeneous converged networks. Our approach leads to an easily adaptable and extensible system architecture, in which system components interact with each other through loosely coupled interfaces based on asynchronous exchange of messages. It also effectively separates service logic from service delivery, through the introduction of a secure broker between the end user devices and the enterprise level application that contains the service logic. This separation also provides additional levels of security at the application level. This paper describes how our approach provides the features mentioned above. We have also validated our approach through the implementation of a prototype system, a description of which is also provided.
