Integrated Security Services for Dynamic Coalitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coalitions are collaborative networks of autonomous domains where resource sharing is achieved by the distribution of access permissions to coalition members based on negotiated resource-sharing agreements. The focus of our research is on dynamic coalitions, namely, coalitions where member domains may leave or new domains may join during the life of the coalition. We have developed a set of tools that integrate security services for dynamic coalitions, namely, services for (1) private and shared resource management, (2) identity and attribute certificate management, (3) secure group communication, and (4) joint administration for enforcing joint-action policies on shared critical resources. In this extended abstract we give an overview of the architecture and implementation of our tools.

Federated Security Management for Dynamic Coalitions
The Smart Firewalls project within the DARPA Dynamic Coalitions program has developed technologies to (i) specify high-level network-wide security policy, (ii) monitor and check network policy compliance from low-level configuration settings of network devices, and (iii) generate new device configurations to bring the system to a policy-compliant state. Our previous demonstration showed a singl...

Safeguarding security for eGovernment services is an essential ingredient for the success of such services. For this purpose, isolated security efforts are not sufficient. Integrated concepts are required. In the publicly funded project SKe, we are developing such an integrated approach. One component of this integrated approach is a knowledge management-based solution to support the dynamic as...
