Title
Security and resource policy-based mangagement architecture for ALAN servers
Abstract
Abstract:,Application Layer Active Networks (ALAN) allow quick and efficient deployment, on the active servers, of user-customised services (proxylets). Programmability,above the transport layer makes,this approach,distinct form other active network initiatives. This scenario raises the issues of efficient resource management on the active server. Moreover, the deployment of userspecified processes has to be highly secure so as not to harm the active server operator platform. The IST project ANDROID is using a flexible generic specification for policies, in XML, allowing a wide range of policies to be expressed and processed,in a common,framework. This paper presents the security and resource management,architecture developed,to support the application of the ANDROID policy-based principles to manage the ALAN servers. We present the architecture, as well as the sample policy sets. The prototype security and resource management,implementation,were demonstrated,during two real-life trials and the results are presented here. Key words: ALAN, Policy-based management, XML, Resource and security management.
