Sensor Management Mechanism for Sensor Integrity in Active Security Technology

As network has become more distributed, more global, and more complex, it has simultaneously become more exposed to threats and cyber terrors. In this paper, we suggest active security technology using sensors in active network, and sensor management mechanism using managing sensors. Also, we manage requirements for managing sensors in active security technology. It can be distinguished active network security which responses from threats and blocks attacker’s traffic at the end terminal from current passive network security. The concept of “sensor” in this paper is active packet contained mobile code in active network. This mobile code in active packet has mobility and it can operate on the kernel of OS as well as upper application layer. A managing sensor, that is a kind of sensors, checks movement, location, state, and integrity of the other sensors that are applied in active security technology.
