Network Security Architecture with Active and Dynamic Response Selection

Title : Building a Dynamic Interoperable Security Architecture for Active Networks

A New Dynamic Architecture for an Active Network

Existing active network architectures depend on using statically typed languages for protection and performance. Unfortunately this limits some of the more dynamic features of an active network. In this paper we present PANTS a dynamically extensible active network architecture. We describe a new architecture for an active node which does not depend on language based security, but provides the ...

Active Network Security

Most discussions of network security focus on the tools and techniques used to fortify networks: firewalls, biometrics, access controls, encryption. This paper presents an outline of tools that assist an administrator in verifying and maintaining the security of a networked system – Active Security tools. It discusses why there is a need for such tools and how security mechanisms are attacked. ...

Unified Security Architecture for enterprise network security
