Panel: Dynamic Security in Active Networks Roy Campbell University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Panel: U of I Proposal • Dynamic Security Policies • Secure Active Node Architecture • Reference Monitor • Active Capabilities • Network Administration
Architecture: Dynamic Security Policies • Security is a Foundation!!! No afterthought. • Node security/integrity guarantees • A universal policy is inadequate for Active Networks • Allow varied security schemes for anticipated unknown applications
Reference Monitor • All accesses to node resources go through reference monitor • Core security services verify the signature on the active capability • Reference monitor evaluates the active capability to check access
Active Capabilities • Global capabilities • Specify access user has to node resources, independent of execution environment • Issued by the administrator • Local capabilities • Specific capabilities issued by the Administrative E.E. in response to global ones
Network Administration • Administrative Execution Environment capsules have highest priority • Preempt all other capsules • Policy change • Capability revocations • Certificate revocations • Universal naming of node resources (e.g. like SNMP)
