Key terms

Script

If we imagine that CNM apps are people and the CNM Cloud Foundation are a combination of their homes, we may treat WorldOpp Middleware as their municipal services such as mail delivery, local police, Internet broadband, public transportation, parking lots, etc.
Particularly, WorldOpp Middleware provides CNM apps with its distributed database and user management system.
The distributed database stores most important data from different CNM apps, so it can be accessed in one place rather than in every CNM app.
The user management system handles all the authentications and authorizations. In our imaginary town, the user management system would combine two entities: (a) the ID-issuing authority and (b) ID policing reinforcement.
The only exception is CNM Cabin, which, as a federated service, is powered by WorldOpp Middleware. WorldOpp Middleware include both end-user applications and those software applications that support other apps, not end-users. The Middleware is not commercial off-the-shelf (COTS). Its code is custom-written for CNM Cyber.

Soft behind CNM Apps is the successor lectio.
