Abstract

               SafeErlang is a project that aims to make the programming language
               Erlang more safe in open distributed environments. This involves
               limitations on resource usage, access control on objects, distributed code
               loading and secure communication. This thesis is a step towards a true
               implementation of this concept, and addresses secure communication
               between Erlang nodes.

               Means to establish secure communication is presented as well as problems
               one has to defeat when secure communicating in an open media is the
               goal. Although this thesis involves a specific programming language the
               way this task is solved is not language dependent, and therefore of interest
               even in a broader sense.

A well-known protocol and open-source implementation is modified and
integrated in the distribution layer of the Erlang run-time system.
