- Organizations often impose an administrative security policy when they
- connect to other organizations on a public network such as the Internet.
- Many applications have their own notions of security, or they simply rely
- on the security of the underlying protocols. Using the X Window System as
- a case study, we describe some techniques for building application-specific
- ``relays'' that allow the use of applications across organizational boundaries.
- In particular, we focus on analyzing administrative and application-specific
- security policies to construct solutions that satisfy the security requirements
- while providing the necessary functions of the applications.

- This is a preprint of a paper to appear in the Proceedings of the USENIX
- Summer Conference, June, 1993.
