Grid of Security: A New Approach of the Network Security

Abstract

Network security is in a daily evolving domain. Every day, new attacks, virus or intrusion techniques are released. Hence, network devices, enterprise servers or personal computers are potential targets of these attacks. Current security solutions like firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and virtual private networks (VPN) are centralized solutions which rely mostly on the analyze of inbound network connections. This approach notably forgets the effects of a rogue station, whose communications cannot be easily controlled unless the administrators establish a global authentication policy using methods like 802.1x to control all network communications among each device. To the best of our knowledge, a distributed and easily manageable solution for the global security of an enterprise network does not exist. In this paper, we present a new approach to deploy a distributed security solution where communication between each device can be control in a collaborative manner. Indeed, each device has its own security rules, who can be shared and improved through exchanges with others devices. With this new approach, called grid of security, a community of devices ensures that a device is trustworthy and that communications between devices progress in respect of the control of the system policies. To support this approach, we present a new communication model that helps structuring the distribution of security services among the devices. Like this, we can secure both ad-hoc, local-area or enterprise networks in a decentralized manner, preventing the risk of a security breach in the case of a failure.

Pseudorandom Numbered Hybrid Crypto Algorithm with Two Bit Crossover and Boundary Mutation

“…A framework for public key infrastructure that focuses on wireless networks is proposed by Wuzheng [2]. An innovative method has been proposed by Flauzac namely grid of security [4]. It is distributed security solution in a balanced collective method.…”

SDN Based Architecture for Clustered WSN

“…In every domain SDNCH has its own security policies and management strategy to distribute routing functions and security rules to each border controller. We adopt this architecture to guarantee the security with the concept of a grid of security [27] embedded in each controller to prevent attacks. When a sensor node need to transmit the collected data to another domain, the flow has When a SDNCH fails, another controller can take control to avoid system failures [20], increasing trustworthiness and fault tolerance.…”

“…If a cluster-head or the aggregator node is compromised by a malicious attacker, the data sent to the base station cannot be guaranteed. To solve potential problems concerning the security of clusterhead, we take into account the Grid of Security concept proposed by Flauzac et al in [27]. Previous studies [3], [7], [8], [9] in Software-Defined Networking implementations with wireless sensor nodes provide a better view of this paradigm.…”

New Security Architecture for IoT Network

“…Each SDN domain has its own security policies and management strategy. To solve potential problems raised by the heterogeneity of the security policies respective to the interconnected SDN domains, we use the Grid of Security concept proposed by Flauzac et al in 23 . The Grid of Security is a middleware for decentralized enforcement of the network security.…”
