Project Summary
Current active network research efforts propose novel network architectures to enable fast protocol and service deployment. However the dynamic and proactive nature of these active networks increases the security risks of the malicious usage of the networks. Although some on going research addresses this issue, there is little research into the nature of the security provisions in such networks. We believe that security architecture for active networks should be dynamic, reconfigurable, extensible and interoperable. The proposed architecture builds upon technologies developed in the Cherubim project, namely dynamic security policies supporting interoperabilty among different security domains, active capabilities providing application specific security functions, and architecture-oriented visualization for visualizing the dynamic configuration of the security systems.
