Common Object Request Broker Architecture CORBA Definition: A set of standards that addresses the need for interoperability between hardware and software products.
A set of standards that addresses the need for interoperability between hardware and software products. CORBA is a middleware architecture and specification that enables software components written in different programming languages and running on different platforms to work together. It uses an Interface Definition Language IDL to specify component interfaces and an Object Request Broker ORB to facilitate communication. While less common in modern applications, CORBA remains in use in some legacy enterprise systems. Organizations using CORBA implement security through access control, encryption, and authentication mechanisms as recommended by standards like CORBA Security Service. For example, a global financial institution might use CORBA to enable communication between legacy mainframe applications and modern distributed systems, implementing security through CORBA security service. Related terms: Middleware, Distributed computing, Interoperability, Object-oriented, Web services, Service-oriented architecture.
