Summary

Phase 2 security enhancements that improve the security posture of PolyORB:

  • Audit logging for GSSUP credential deallocation (INV-AUDIT-001)
  • RAND_poll calls for proper OpenSSL PRNG seeding in TLS and SSL modules
  • Destroy procedure declaration for X509 certificate chain cleanup
  • Secure_Memory utility for memory zeroization operations

Changes

File Change
polyorb-security-credentials-gssup.adb Added audit logging for credential deallocation
polyorb-tls.adb Added RAND_poll for PRNG initialization
polyorb-ssl.adb Added RAND_poll for PRNG initialization
polyorb-x509.ads Added Destroy procedure declaration
polyorb-security-secure_memory.ads New utility for secure memory clearing

Security Benefits

  1. Audit Trail - CRITICAL credential lifecycle events are now logged
  2. PRNG Initialization - OpenSSL PRNG properly seeded before use
  3. Resource Cleanup - X509 certificates can be properly destroyed
  4. Memory Safety - Secure zeroization prevents sensitive data leakage

Test plan

  • Verify syntax checks pass for all modified files
  • Verify GSSUP audit logging works correctly
  • Verify TLS/SSL initialization includes RAND_poll
  • Review Secure_Memory implementation for compiler optimization resistance

## Summary
- Reverted utility to thin wrapper (removed security scope creep)
- Fixed GIOP security build blockers (missing with clauses)
- Migrated last unmigrated file (polyorb-x509.adb)
- Cleaned up formatting in polyorb-types.ads and corba.ads

## Changes
- polyorb-utils-unchecked_deallocation.ads/adb: Simplified to thin wrapper
- polyorb-types.ads: Fixed instantiation formatting
- corba.ads: Fixed instantiation formatting
- polyorb-x509.adb: Migrated to use utility
- GIOP security files: Added missing PolyORB.Errors, QoS, Utils imports

## Build Status
All syntax checks pass.

## Phase 1 Status
Migration complete. Ready for formal review and testing.
