Secure Deployment of Network Configuration

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Secure deployment of configuration information for network devices has been possible for a long time, but is relatively little used, because almost all of the management of Internet security has to be done manually. The security aspect is particularly difficult to retrofit to legacy equipment, especially in industries that use equipment with long expected lifetimes. Using a combination of novel intermediaries, careful assessment of management needs, and concepts from autonomic networks, we will investigate ways to reduce the initial and on-going costs of security enforcement, in ways that "play well" with existing operational practices.
